What:

Wallworks

YBCA presents Wallworks the highly anticipated curatorial debut of Betti-Sue Hertz, YBCA’s new director of visual arts. Wallworks celebrates the unique qualities of YBCA’s 1993 building designed by acclaimed architect Fumihiko Maki, by commissioning artists to create new large-scale works directly on the walls of both its galleries and its public spaces. These local, regional and international artists use the literal aspects of YBCA’s architectural space as a starting point for their contribution to the exhibition. Participating artists are Makoto Aida, Edgar Arceneaux, Chris Finley, Tillman Kaiser, Odili Donald Odita, Amanda Ross-Ho, Yehudit Sasportas and Leslie Shows.
