Informed Design this Thursday @ Long View Gallery


"Informed Design" strives to expound on the role of art objects within the context of interior design and architecture. This exhibition will feature a sampling of the inventory in our newly launched corporate art consulting branch as well as two architectural design vignettes by leading D.C. architects Ernesto Santalla and David Jameson.


Rather than neglecting the gallery space as merely a support to the works of art that hang in it, "Informed Design" demonstrates how artworks can shape an interior or interact with space in a way that offers the viewer a heightened aesthetic experience. "Informed Design" aims to explore the relationship between art and architecture, arguing that superlative works of art establish a dialogue with the architecture that it graces

Featured artists:

Joan Konkel

Anne Marchand

Tory Cowles
Steve Griffin
Patricia Burns
Wanda Wainsten
Susan Finsen

WIth architectural installations by Ernesto M. Santalla of Studio Santalla and David Jameson of David Jameson Architect Inc. featuring artwork by:
