The UNM Art Museum presents “BIG Stuff: Works from the Permanent Collection,” June 17-Aug. 17. Size does matter and impacts greatly on how we experience and interact with a work of art. This exhibition presents an opportunity to see a number of large works from the UNM Art Museum’s permanent collections that are not often on view, in part because of their size.
But size is also relative, and in this exhibition of paintings, sculpture, prints, drawings and photographs – some contrasted with very small works – we can observe just how size and scale function in different media and in relation to other works of art.
Artists include Garrow Antreasian, Enrique Chagoya, Jim Dine, William Henry Jackson, Raymond Jonson, Harry Nadler, Dennis Oppenheim, Ed Ruscha, Roger Sweet, Dewain Valentine, Jim Waid, Carla Williams, William T. Wiley and others.
The Art Museum’s summer hours are Tuesday-Friday, 9 a.m.-4 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday, 1-4 p.m. Admission is free. Visit http://www.unm.edu/~artmuse or call 277-4001 for more information.
