The Bureau for Open Culture, an exhibition program for the
contemporary arts at Columbus College of Art & Design has an exciting exhibition opening January 27.
It's called Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven. The exhibition examines the way life is charged with an underlying awareness of the passage of time evidenced through material and popular culture. Link to a PDF of the press release with more information.
17 artists are participating in the exhibition. 42 works will be installed.
Artists include 2008 Turner Prize winner Mark Leckey and 2010 Guggenheim
fellow Mary Lum. Dublin-based, Irish artist Gerard Byrne will show part of a work he presented at the 2007 Venice Biennale and we will present for the first time a newly commissioned work by Columbus-based artist Malcolm
Cochran.
Eight participating artists will be in Columbus for the opening reception on January 27. They will come from Chicago, Barcelona, Pittsburgh, Brooklyn,New York, Dublin, Ireland, and North Adams, Massachusetts. A couple artists will be in residence for a week or more to produce site-specific works.
Dublin-based, Irish artist Dennis McNulty will make a sound and video work called Carbon Dating. It investigates Brutalist modernist architecture.
