Jenniffer Omaitz Shadow Structure Reception - The Sculpture Center




January 14 - 26, 2011
Opening Reception: January 14th @ 5.30pm
A Window to Sculpture Emerging Artist Exhibition
1834 East 123rd St. Cleveland, Oh

We have been watching the installation of this collection unfold in the gallery adjacent to the studioTECHNE offices, the staccato of power tools, the rustling of bits being moved around, affixed, adjusted, with a sense of awe (and hope for the architecture models of decades past). We have also had the privilege of chatting with Ms. Omaitz (by just hovering around the gallery until she notices us and invites us in) and I admit I am very much looking forward to this exhibition. There was talk of deconstructionism and Lebbeus Woods and Eisenman and all the good talks that architectural geeks (or archige2ks) love to have amongst themselves which was actually beginning to manifest itself in physical form. Very nice, I am very excited about the opening.
