Per Barclay: House of Oil and Water Installation Opening Reception

Please join us for a Members Reception to celebrate the opening of Per Barclay: House of Oil and Water

Norwegian artist Per Barclay will present three bodies of work at the Redwood this summer: a site-specific commission, Oil Room in the Redwood’s eighteenth-century summer house; Untitled, a 7-foot glass house where pumped water sloshes gently and rhythmically around the interior walls and ceilings in the Delivery Room and monumental photographs documenting Barclay’s earlier site-specific installations in the Peirce Prince gallery. These include a library reflected with stunning clarity in a mirror of oil Rue Visconti # 14, a Swiss bank vault seemingly floating atop it, La Banque, Geneve, 2005, and other oily interventions.

Made possible by Cornelius C. Bond and Ann E. Blackwell and the Hartfield Foundation
