Consequential: Penn Faculty Exhibit Opens Weds. Sept 9, 5 - 7pm



The Charles Addams Gallery of the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Design is pleased to launch the 2009-2010 academic year with an exhibition of works by the current faculty of the School of Design. The exhibition, Consequential, will be on view from September 9th through October 16th, 2009.

The exhibition contains works from over thirty of PennDesign’s prestigious faculty. In addition to the selected pieces, Consequential includes supporting source material integral to the individualized processes of each artist. The exhibition’s focus is to part the veil separating the conceptual origin and the tangible finality of the works. Just as the works themselves, the supplemental material describes the array of processes and methodologies existing in contemporary practice. Depictions of working studios, direct source material, documentations of various stages of completion and progressions, as well as preparatory work will all be on display. The exhibition offers the opportunity to view pieces of the artists’ varied practices rarely on display.

Opening Reception: Wednesday, September 9, 5:00 - 7:00pm
Exhibition Dates: September 9 – October 16, 2009
