7:30 p.m.
College of Architecture Auditorium
Georgia Institute of Technology
Although Mr. Irwin was an Abstract Expressionist during the 1950s, he later turned to light
and environment to investigate how we perceive our surroundings. Most recently, these
interests have led Mr. Irwin to undertake two massive projects involving building treatments
and landscape: his Getty Center gardens, completed in 1998, are one of the largest public art
commissions ever undertaken; his work on the buildings and grounds at Dia:Beacon enhance
the entire viewer experience.
Mr. Irwin's exhibitions include retrospectives at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los
Angeles and the Whitney Museum of American Art. He is represented by PaceWildenstein.
Both events are free, open to the public and wheelchair accessible.
