Confluence Exhibit and Reception slated for Fall 2011
February 22, 2011
This fall, the Center for Arts & History in Lewiston, Idaho, plans to host an exhibit of Confluence Project work. The exhibit will examine aspects of the work at nearby Chief Timothy Park site in Washington along with the other sites. Confluence Project staff is planning to host a reception with members from the Chinook, Warm Springs, Umatilla, Celilo Village, Yakama and Nez Perce tribes. The date for the reception is yet to be determined.
Works in the exhibit will include models created by Maya Lin and her New York studio, as well as images and models of the Vancouver Land Bridge created by Jones and Jones Architects in Seattle. These exhibit pieces will help to illustrate the process leading from final design drawings and models to the completed artworks. Before-and-after photographs will address the context, utility and aesthetics of each site and provide a forum for interpreting the places, people and environmental changes along the Columbia River. Construction images and elements will give visitors a stronger connection to the challenges of realizing an installation of this scope. The exhibit will also offer open access to Journey Book and an introspective video by Maya Lin.
The Center for Arts & History is located at 415 Main Street in Lewiston Idaho. Please check out the Center for Arts & History’s website for more information about the location and hours, subscribe to and read our e-newsletter, and check back for more Confluence updates and events.
