Wexner Center Update

William Wegman: Funney/Strange
Wexner Center Galleries

Thu, Sep 20 - Sun, Dec 30, 2007

This nationally touring exhibition, a comprehensive 40-year retrospective of Wegman's wryly funny work, showcases his photography, painting, collage, and video from the 1960s to the present, including his photographic collaborations with his well known Weimaraners. Together, these pieces offer "a total immersion in the fruits of his inquiring mind and sardonic eye," says the New York Times. "Dogs or no dogs, Mr. Wegman is one of the most important artists to emerge from the heady experiments of the 1970s."

Funney/Strange fills all the Wexner Center galleries and features a special project by the artist in the lobby. This is the only place in the Midwest where you can see the show—and it's your last chance. Funney/Strange has already delighted viewers at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C., the Norton Museum of Art in Palm Beach, Florida, and the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, Massachusetts, and is concluding its national tour here in Columbus.


Orange Barrel Media is a sponsor of this exhibit so Pete and I will be attending the opening. I can't wait to meet him!
