TAM: Chihuly's Floats Installation at Tacoma Art Museum

Sorry about the late notice, but Ma Chihuly's Floats are being installed on the Wave today. See details below.

 

---

Spend your lunch break at Tacoma Art Museum today to see the re-install of Ma Chihuly’s Floats. The installation process will start around 11 am and is expected to be completed between noon and 1 pm. Visit the Tacoma Art Museum website to see pictures from last year’s installation here: http://www.tacomaartmuseum.org/page.asp?view=4407.

 

Later tonight, join in a roundtable discussion about provocative art and ideas in museums. Artist Alex Schweder will speak about his work featured in two summer exhibitions: Sparkle Then Fade and the 2007 Neddy Artist Fellowship, which includes Bi-Bardon, a conjoined urinal. Following the talk, a roundtable conversation will examine the role museums play in generating thought-provoking ideas. Invited panelists and visitors will discuss the role museums play in fostering a safe place for dialogue about differing views and ideas.

 

Just a reminder, every Third Thursday at Tacoma Art Museum offers free museum admission from 10 am to 8 pm.
