David Wallace Haskins
@ Elmhurst Art Museum
150 Cottage Hill Ave., Elmhurst, IL 60126
Opening Saturday, September 8th, from 11AM - 5PM
On view through Saturday, January 13th
Elmhurst Art Museum will present a major solo exhibition by local multi-media artist David Wallace Haskins on view September 8, 2018 – January 13, 2019. The exhibition, likely Haskins’ most ambitious yet, will include multiple new projects including a responsive sound work, new virtual reality experience, interactive video installation, and a large-scale light piece.
He will also create an immersive site-specific architectural intervention in the recently restored adjacent McCormick House designed by Mies van der Rohe, which is part of the Museum’s collection. This work in the McCormick House will continue innovative programming by artists invested in celebrating the landmark building by Mies, especially as the highly anticipated restoration allows audiences to discover and reconsider its unique story.
Haskins believes small shifts in our perception can create meaningful consequences in everyday lives. Continuing traditions of the Light and Space movement, he engineers highly considered and polished works that isolate viewers’ experiences with phenomena of light, space, sound, and time. Each conceptually-driven piece invites visitors to reorient themselves to the world around them.
