Jaume Plensa: Silent Noise
This exhibition features thirteen sculptures and a number of works on paper by this Spanish artist who experiments with a wide variety of artistic practices and media to explore the sensory perceptions of the body. Plensa is fascinated by the ways we apprehend our environment both on a pre-verbal level and through formal thought and language.
Jaume Plensa was born in Barcelona in 1955 and lives and works in Barcelona and Paris. Although the artist has had exhibitions throughout the world, most recently a retrospective at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofma in Madrid, this is his first major traveling exhibition in the United States. An illustrated catalogue, published by Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation in collaboration with the State Corporation for Spanish Cultural Action Abroad (SEACEX), and The Arts Club of Chicago, is available for purchase at the University Gallery.
Jaume Plensa: Silent Noise was organized by the General Directorate for Cultural and Scientific Affairs of the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation in collaboration with the State Corporation for Spanish Cultural Action Abroad (SEACEX), and curated by The Arts Club of Chicago.
