Art Exhibition

Exhibit Features Quirky Creations

Extreme Materials

EXTREME ART: A Rochester-exclusive showing of contemporary artists who are pushing the boundaries of creative expression was one of last spring’s highlights at the Memorial Art Gallery. The exhibition Extreme Materials featured the work of nearly 30 artists, including a 1960 Cadillac de Ville by California artist Larry Fuente (above). Marie Via, the gallery’s director of exhibitions, researched the idea for the exhibition for years, scouring the art world for artists who transform otherwise mundane and overlooked materials into surprising and intriguing objects of art.
