CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — The
built environment will be the focus of two new exhibitions on view Nov.
16 through Dec. 22 at I space, the Chicago gallery of the University
of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
• "Architectural Scenes: Photography, Buildings and Culture
in the 19th and 20th Centuries" features a diverse selection of
images by anonymous photographers as well as noted artists such as Adolphe
Braun, Harry Callahan, Walker Evans, Robert Macpherson, Alfred Stieglitz
and Edward Weston. Also included are vintage and contemporary editions
of illustrated books and magazines. The exhibition, which focuses on
the attention to light, structure and time shared by architecture and
photography, is drawn from the photography collection of Krannert Art
Museum and is curated by UI art history professor Jordana Mendelson,
with assistance from graduate students Guisela Latorre and Patty Plummer.
• "Giving Form to Values: R.M. Kliment and Frances Halsband
Architects, NY" highlights recent work – under construction
or just completed – by the New York firm. Projects include the
Yale University Divinity School and The Franklin Delano Roosevelt Presidential
Library and Visitors' Center in Hyde Park, N.Y. The exhibition will
include models, construction documents, drawings, diagrams and photographs
of the work. Halsband is a visiting Plym Professor this fall at the
School of Architecture on the Urbana campus.
