2. Open House on November 12 and New Exhibition at Art & Architecture Library
The Art & Architecture Library will be hosting its second annual open house on Wednesday, November 12 from 3 until 6 pm. It will be an occasion for the Library to showcase its new exhibition, [De]Code: Images and Their Structures, which will be on view through the Winter Quarter.
The exhibition brings together works that draw attention to the physically and culturally constructed nature of images: how space and depth are designated, how scale is created and discerned, how time is represented and understood. Highlights include a facsimile of the fourteenth-century Yüan Dynasty handscroll Fuchun shan jü tu [Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains]; Gerhard Richter’s 128 Details from a Picture; and László Moholy-Nagy’s 60 Fotos.
The open house will include hors d'oeuvres, examples from the Library's video art collection, a Visual Resources Center image slide show, and art book giveaways for students. All are welcome!
