  • Heimo Zobernig FINAL Press Release 9 20 17
    MIT List Visual Arts Center For Immediate Release The MIT List Visual Arts Center presents Heimo Zobernig: chess painting The exhibition is Heimo Zobernig’s first solo institutional exhibition in the US since 1996 On view: October 27–December 31, 2017 Opening Reception: October 26, 2017, 6–8 PM Cambridge, MA—September 20, 2017. The MIT List Visual Arts Center presents Heimo Zobernig: chess painting. Since the 1980s, Vienna-based artist Heimo Zobernig (b 1958, Mauthen, Austria) has worked across several disciplines: sculpture, painting, installation, architectural intervention, performance, video, and print design. Zobernig’s practice is grounded in an awareness of his position as an artist and producer in the broader context of culture. His work is framed by the impact Modernism has had on the trajectory of art history and a questioning of the institutional mechanisms that support the exhibition of artwork. The exhibition will span the List Center’s two main galleries. Using the museum and its architecture as a stage; Zobernig allows a viewer to confront the constructed, at times theatrical, experience of visiting an art exhibition. In the Hayden Gallery, Zobernig will extend a body of work developed for a solo exhibition at Malmö Kunsthall in 2016 that features repurposed mobile performance stages and black-and-white checkered faux fur blankets. Visitors are welcome to sit on the stages—the thick cozy blankets an alluring invitation—and take in the light and architecture of the space. In the Reference Gallery, Zobernig will create a new room-scale installation that will include a series of eight large-scale canvases, hung in a configuration referencing the title of the exhibition and the graphic on the blankets in the neighboring gallery.

  • Boston College
    Welcome to Boston and Cambridge We are so pleased that you are joining us for AUA 2013, the 58th gathering of the Association of University Architects. And we welcome you to our campuses. In addition to BC and MIT, we will be spending a day at Harvard, home to one of our new members. These three institutions could not be more different from one another and we look forward to sharing them all with you. Our Program Committee has assembled a lineup of tours, including the three campuses, case stud- ies, and (a lot of!) new member presentations.
