SUITE FANTASTIQUE

If you weren’t in attendance at the opening of the Wexner Center’s Suite Fantastique, you missed quite a bit. Not only did DJ Spooky spin a set for the crowd, but admission was also free. And did I mention the glowsticks? Suite Fantastique is the first exhibition of 2001 for the Wexner. The five galleries are filled with a design and arts extravaganza. Gallery A houses the work of California-based Imaginary Forces. Featured are seven works of movie opening credits created by the graphics firm. You will definitely recognize their work, as they did the openings for films like Seven, Donnie Brasco and Gattaca. In Galleries B & C you can find drawings of architecture from artists like Rem Koolhaas, Daniel Libeskind and Peter Eisenmann. The work of late furniture designer Scott Burton is placed throughout all five galleries. And finally, in Gallery E, you will find The Predator. This installation, based off of the famous Schwarzenegger film (no, you didn’t read that wrong), is as big as the entire gallery space. Visitors can walk directly into the piece. Created by Wexner Center Residency Award winners Fabian Marcaccio and Greg Lynn, The Predator was designed digitally. The exhibition runs through April 15th, but we all know how quickly tax day comes, so see it soon.
