VDO of Maya Lin: Between Art and Architecture (Part 1)
Maya Lin: Between Art and Architecture (Part 1) Tube. Duration : 28.08 Mins.We had a good read. For the benefit of yourself. Be sure to read to the end. I want you to get good knowledge from Vietnam Veterans. The artist-architect-designer Maya Lin presented a lecture "Between Art and Architecture" at the Graham Chapel on Thursday, September 6 as part of the Fall 2007 Assembly Series at Washington University in St. Louis. Lin's talk was presented by the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts in collaboration with the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, host for her major exhibition, "Maya Lin: Systematic Landscapes" from Sept. 7 through Dec. 30. The exhibition showcased her more recent artistic interests that explored the meaning of landscape in a time of ecological tension and technological change, and expressed the fragile connection we have to our environment. From 1981, when the 21-year-old Yale University student won the contest for designing the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, to her current projects featuring sculptures, drawings and large-scale installations, Lin has resisted categorization and has built a remarkable body of work establishing herself as one of the most significant artists of her time. Whether it is a public monument, sculpture, design object, or building, her images are characterized by their harmony of message and material, often blurring the boundaries of art, architecture and design. She achieved prominence early in her career by literally redefining America's idea of a memorial. Since then she has continued to create monuments, including the Civil Rights Memorial in Montgomery, Ala., as well as a variety of large-scale, site-specific installations.
