Join us for a special reception with curators Rick Valicenti and Suzie Shin on August 16 at 3:45 pm, immediately following the Exhibit Columbus Curatorial Conversation.
"Alexander Girard, Reverberations — Forever” celebrates the timeless influence of Alexander Girard, whose work is woven tightly throughout the town of Columbus, Indiana. As a close friend of the visionary Millers, J. Irwin and Xenia, Girard displayed a masterful touch across the iconic Miller House with his ability to blend art, architecture, and whimsy into everyday life. Impossibly, the colors, forms, and patterns hold a freshness that continues to inspire generations of artists and designers globally.
Curated by Rick Valicenti and Suzie Shin, friends of the Columbus design community for over a decade, "Alexander Girard, Reverberations — Forever” brings together a diverse group of artists and designers whose works reflect Girard’s spirit. In a unique gesture of community involvement, Columbus and Chicago residents were invited to lend original works by Girard from their collections, allowing direct connections between now and the Midwest’s artistic heritage.
The exhibition displays conscious or unconscious reverberations of Girard’s work as it continues to spark optimism in the broader landscape of art and design. Girard’s legacy echoes for generations to come.
>> "Alexander Girard, Reverberations — Forever” is supported through the generosity of The Miller Family and Deer Crossing Fund.
