Join us for the the grand opening of the Manetti Shrem Museum at UC Davis! Free & open to the public. Nov 13 ~ street fair at 10am, ribbon-cutting and public opening at noon. Live music, food trucks, and entertainment are provided by UC Davis and community partners from 10-4pm.
Don't miss the 1,500 foot long colorful chain sculpture designed by UC Davis alum, Lisa Rybovich Crallé. The sculpture is comprised of 500 interconnected soft foam chain links. Each of the links has been painted by members of the general public, literally "linking" the museum with the community. The massive sculpture will weave and loop asymmetrically around the entrance of the museum, hanging from the outdoor canopy like an enormous piece of colorful jewelry.
The sculptural "ribbon" will be ceremoniously untied (rather than cut) by faculty, staff, alumni, donors, students and artists at noon on Nov 13th, after which the museum will be open to the public. Opening exhibitions include: Out Our Way, representing more than 200 examples of art from First Generation Faculty; Hoof & Foot, a video project by Chris Sollars that explores the symbiotic relationship between animals and students; and A Pot for a Latch, a participatory installation by Mexico City artist Pia Camil that invites the public to exchange “objects of desire.”
