Architecture of Life

Group exhibition at The University of California, Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive

2016

January 31–May 29, 2016

An installation of hanging wire sculptures by Ruth Asawa was included in the group exhibition Architecture of Life at The UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA).

Featuring more than 200 works in different media, Architecture of Life was the inaugural exhibition in BAMPFA's new visual arts building designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro. Organized by BAMPFA Director Lawrence Rinder, the exhibition explored how architecture—as concept, metaphor, and practice—illuminates different aspects of life experience, and aimed to present rarely seen works in ways that suggest new connections and meanings.
