Wallworks
Open Studio

YBCA presents Wallworks the highly anticipated curatorial debut of Betti-Sue Hertz, YBCA’s new director of visual arts. Wallworks celebrates the unique qualities of YBCA’s 1993 building designed by acclaimed architect Fumihiko Maki, by commissioning artists to create new large-scale works directly on the walls of both its galleries and its public spaces. These local, regional and international artists use the literal aspects of YBCA’s architectural space as a starting point for their contribution to the exhibition.

The first two weeks of the project is an open studio in which audiences are invited to walk through YBCA’s public spaces and witness the creation of the works as they evolve on-site. Artists engage in conversation with the audience in an intimate setting each day.

Participating artists are Makoto Aida, Edgar Arceneaux, Chris Finley, Tillman Kaiser, Odili Donald Odita, Amanda Ross-Ho and Leslie Shows.
