Heimo Zobernig

Date: 
May 8- June 30, 1996
Abstract: 
Zoernig's project is quite simple. It consists of three components; the walls on the floor of the gallery, the blue corridor, and a monitor playing a videotape he executed here in Chicago. In a very direct manner, Zobernig has reversed the relationship between the illusory and the real by using the walls just outside the gallery to create illusion and by denying this function to walls within the gallery. -taken from brochure

A History of The Renaissance Society- The First Seventy-Five Years

Catalog Number: 
Book, Scanlan, Joseph
Date: 
1993
Abstract: 
For more than seventy-five years, The Renaissance Society has chronicled countless innovations in the visual arts. At its founding in 1915, a horse and buggy were common means of transport, the Soviet Union had not yet been formed, and matisse was considered a threat to decency. Throughout this period of extraordinary social transformation, The Renaissance Society has reflected the questioning of each new generation. It has matured into a world-renowned institution, a place for education, reflection, and enjoyment.
