The Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU is rolling out four new exhibits for the spring semester. Now on display through June 27, the museum’s galleries feature photography, light-based works and sculptural installations.
The Crimson Cube is now home to “Mimi Jung: An Unfinished Origin,” a display of sculptural works by Helena, Montana-based artist Mimi Jung. According to the museum, Jung’s exhibition brings together recent sculptural works that use unconventional materials and woven forms to explore identity, transformation and the space between what is known and unknown.
Jung is known for her large-scale woven structures. On her website, she says her work aims to encourage deeper reflection on identity and perception.
Also on display this semester is “Longer Light: Selections from the Collection,” a curated group of pieces from the museum’s holdings that explores artists’ relationships with light and time. The exhibition places special emphasis on the museum’s growing photography collection.
The museum encourages visitors to experience the exhibitions in person and observe the movement of space, shape and color as they move through the galleries.
A new display drawn from the museum’s growing photography collection can also be found on its walls, featuring work connected to the Pacific Northwest by photographers past and present.
The museum has been dedicated to sharing the visual arts with students, faculty and communities across the Palouse since 1974. The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, with free admission.
