Matt RubinSince Oct. 14, 2005, the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts has housed “Minimalism and Beyond,” an exhibit designed to showcase multiple generations of minimalist artists, including those who have defined the movement and those who carry on the minimalist tradition today. This exhibit will be removed from the gallery on April 26, but Wash. U. students can catch this phenomenal show before its departure this Thursday at After Hours at the Pulitzer, an event designed specifically with the student population in mind.
The work of 13 distinct artists comprises this exhibit, and all works were selected for both their contribution to the minimalist movement and for their ability to speak in dialogue with one another and with the facility’s own unique architectural design. Works include “Untitled” by Felix Gonzalez-Torres, an interactive piece which actually invites the viewer to take and eat a part of the work, and “Untitled” by Dan Flavin, which juxtaposes a seemingly frigid block of ice with a warm light emanating from the corner of the room.
