New Moves


The curatorial staff continues to prepare the galleries for Gaylen Hansen: Three Decades of Paintings. The walls have been repainted and are now being moved into place. Visitors should consider the placement of walls as they walk through the Main Gallery; Curator of Exhibitions Jay Heuman says the space definitely shapes a viewer's experience. He says: "Because Gaylen Hansen is a solo exhibition, my concept was thematic. I've arranged works addressing a common issue together, along with signage specific to that topic. Also, since the entire space is devoted to this show, I wanted an inviting diagonal that would lead people to the Projects Gallery."



The Gaylen Hansen paintings have arrived! The works are unframed and will be tacked to our walls. Here they sit, wrapped in tubes, waiting to be moved into the Main and Projects Galleries. The exhibit will also occupy the Street Level Gallery.

Gaylen Hansen: Three Decades of Paintings opens Friday evening, February 15th, at 6 pm with a special reception, free and open to the public.
