Art Museum

Keith Wells, curator of WSU’s Museum of Art took us on a brief tour of his latest exhibit. The largest piece (a wooden life-size replica of a car crashing into a small cabin) definitely draws the most immediate interest, so it is placed the center of the room. If it were anywhere else, it would draw people’s attention away from the photos and painting mounted on the surrounding walls. With the centerpiece equidistant to any given piece, it gives these supplementary works an equal chance to be appreciated. As a rule Keith keeps the walls white and minimizes any seams so that all attention can be paid to the art.
