Public Opening Reception for Antoine Predock: Landscape Body Form Light

5:30 PM - 7:00 PM - Plaza Building
A public opening reception for the exhibition Antoine Predock: Landscape Body Form Light will be held Friday, November 20, 5:30-7pm.
Early in his career, Antoine Predock (American, 1936–2024) described himself as standing at a “Robert Frost-like fork in the road. I could have chosen artist or architect.” He chose architecture, becoming one of the most internationally recognized architects of his generation and the architect most closely associated with the landscape and culture of New Mexico.
Curated by guest curator, Christopher Mead, Emeritus Regents’ Professor, University of New Mexico, Fellow, Society of Architectural Historians, this exhibition explores how art informed his architecture across a lifetime of drawing, painting, watercolor, sculpture, collage, photography, and digital imaging. Immersed in making art, he drew creatively on phenomena of body, form, and light to visualize both architecture and the world.
Join us for light refreshments and remarks from the curator.
Free to attend
