Art + Environment Cubed : The Blog
William L. Fox
The Museum has three “A+E” components-- Art + Environment Exhibitions and Programs, our A+E Conference, and the Center for Art + Environment (CA+E). Three of us lead the effort in collaboration with our colleagues at the Museum: Ann Wolfe, our curator of exhibitions and collections, Colin Robertson, curator of education, and myself, the director of the Center.
Our A+E Exhibitions and Programs range broadly through painting and photography, architecture and video, installation and performance works. The Center consists of a growing archive and library for artists and scholars to use, and a small gallery in which to experiment with the presentation of such materials. More about all that later. And the Conference is, as Colin describes it, an “ecotone,” or zone in which exhibitions, programs, and research come together every two or three years.
A+E cubed will traverse all three areas, as well as bring you reports by us about artists who are dealing with their natural, built, and virtual environments from Australia to the Antarctic, New Mexico to New York, Chile to Copenhagen. It will be an eclectic mix that pops up every week or two, and include guest bloggers from time to time.
Brad Bartlett, a graphic designer from LA who’s consulting with us on our current website redesign, has a term he uses frequently to describe what we’re seeking on the new site: “simple complexity.” We’ll take that as our guiding principle.
