Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU
Join executive director Ryan Hardesty and guest artists for a tour with special insight into curatorial decisions behind the exhibition The Mirror that Nature Holds from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation. Debuting this fall at WSU’s Schnitzer Museum, the exhibition brings together a vast array of contemporary artists whose practices reflect the natural world as a site of wonder, memory, unease, and potential. In dialogue with the philosophical legacy of the sublime, The Mirror that Nature Holds explores how artists today approach landscapes that inspire awe even as they signal precarity. The exhibition includes over 90 works across painting, print, sculpture, and installation drawn from the unparalleled collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer. After the tour, please enjoy the galleries and the opening celebration linked below.
