The complexities behind the largest public art project in Sacramento’s history unfold in an illuminating exhibition at the Center for Contemporary Art Sacramento. In Public: Designing Art for the Sacramento International Airport tracks the review and design process of 11 artists’ proposals commissioned for the new terminal at Sacramento International Airport. The common element that laces all the work together is that the artists have brought the outside – the Sacramento environs - into the building.

Opening March 4, 2010, the exhibition examines how the artists were influenced by public process, practical and theoretical issues, building design principals and the site’s environment. The exhibition includes illustrations of the commissioned artists’ rejected and approved designs, material samples and demonstrations of video and sound that accompany the proposed projects.

Featuring the work of: Donald Lipski, Mildred Howard, Joan Moment, Lawrence Argent, Suzanne Adan, Po Shu Wang and Louise Bertleson, Camille Utterback, Ned Kahn, Christian Moeller, and Lynn Criswell.

Artist Camille Utterback will give an open to the public, free lecture at the gallery, Wed, April 7th, 630-8pm.
