One of the great benefits of Denver's Biennial of the Americas, opening tonight, is the springboard it provides for galleries and artists to show off some great works and shows. And, the opening parties were a work of art themselves!
Here in our own neighborhood, the Museum of Contemporary Art opened a gallery wide new show titled "Energy Effects": Art and Artifacts in the Landscape of Glorius Excess. Phenomenal works by various artists, including a working replica of a particle accelerator, by Jim Sanborn.
Across Delgany, Capsule has an ambitious exhibit all month called Objectophilia, curated by Lauri Lynnxe Murphy. That show also takes the first floor of the new building across 15th, next to the Light Rail tracks. Lots of talented artists including Bill Amundson and Phil Bender. In the middle of it all, the landing pad of a '68 Chevy Nova, looking like it could be just a bad suburban driver visiting Downtown on a Friday night. But, it is actually a collaborative work of the MCA and DOCA, inspired by a photograph by Gonzalo Lebrija.
And, new shows at Robischon (Wazee between 17th and 18th) and Plus+ Gallery (25th and Larimer). All month, good exhibits worth multiple visits. And, the Biennial is going on, too!
