Event details: The Miniature Worlds of Bruce Metcalf
Description
The first major exhibition of the truly engaging and spirited work of unconventional jewelry artist, curator, essayist and critic of contemporary craft, Bruce Metcalf. Featuring over 70 pieces from the 1970s to the present, Metcalf's emotionally-distorted characters, born from cartoon traditions and cast in silver or carved in wood, reveal the inflicted pain from human nature's "dark side."

The glass, aluminum and concrete museum, designed by Steven Holl with plenty of terraces, atriums and gathering places, opened in October 2000.The museum presents contemporary art exhibitions of local, national and international artists who demonstrate complex perspectives. Shows and community forums are designed to promote dialogue on complicated subjects like identity and ethnicity. Every summer, the museum holds a prestigious Art Fair, with more than 300 artists and 300,000 visitors.By Paysha StocktonSpecial to NWsourcePost a Countdown Widget
