Liliana Porter - Fox In The Mirror
The CU Art Museum recently acquired a masterpiece of video art by Liliana Porter, one of the most significant contemporary Latin-American women artists. The work, titled Fox In The Mirror: A Concert (2007), is on view in the museum's new video gallery and explores human vulnerability and frailty through a narrative of animated ceramic and plastic figurines. Fox In The Mirror includes a moving score written and recorded by Porter's collaborator, Sylvia Meyer.

Peter Wegner
WALL-TO-WALL-TO-WALL, a new site specific project by Peter Wegner explores ”the wall” as a 3-D object and architectural agent of division, as well as an idiomatic construct. The installation includes 15 site-specific wall paintings throughout the CU Art Museum. The work is an exploration of the relationship between our visual and literal understanding of architecture and our understanding of space, place, and meaning.

archiTECHtonica
archiTECHtonica will explore the trope of architecture in contemporary art. Works explore the relationship of technology to architecture and the utopic/distopic legacy of architectural modernism. The exhibition includes painting, photography, new media, sculpture, and site-specific installations by Seung Woo Back, Mildred Howard, Yael Kanarek, Stefan Kürten, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Marco Magg, Driss Ouadahi, Daniel Rozin, Richard Saxton, and Peter Wegner, plus a digital archive of The Snow Show exhibition.
