Brigham Young University

July 17, 2008-January 9, 2009

Add Review/Comment

This is an important historical exhibition focusing on a narrow but highly significant period in American and world art history. The period extends from 1960 until 1972-that moment when the tenets of Modernist art collapsed under pressure from newer forms of artistic expression. At this moment, American artists had the greatest influence on the history of world art, and the results of the change formed the foundation of all that we see in contemporary art today.

    I found the performance exhilarating, visceral, and engaging. The reactions of the women in the room to the play were spot on with the playwright's vision of how we view this crime in society. The acting was sharp, there was little to no hesitation with lines, presence,or choerography. This Cougar was impressed! Collapse

    I am so excited to find out that Chris Dunker has photographed the Geneva Steel Plant. Every time I drove down Geneva Road during the dismantling and saw the smoke stacks silouetted against the sunset, I would think "I'd love to go out there and photograph all of it". But I'm just a middle-aged woman who is not in a position to do such a project. I'm so happy to find out there is someone who did!! I can't wait to go and see the exhibit! I'll let you know what I think! Collapse
