GREGG Museum of Art & Design in
Raleigh, NC, Features Works by Frank Gehry
The GREGG Museum of Art & Design at NC State University in Raleigh, NC, is presenting the exhibit, Frozen Music: Frank Gehry and the Walt Disney Concert Hall, on view through Dec. 17, 2008.
This exhibition spotlights Gehry's most recent visible accomplishment, the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. Frozen Music tells the story of the building's design process, construction and completed form. Drawing and photographs loaned from Gehry Partners demonstrate the wide range of solutions that were studied in the process of making design decisions, in addition to exploring the aeronautical technology that facilitates the design and fabrication of such complex shapes.
The centerpiece of the exhibition is a series of more than 70 images by photographer Gil Garcetti, who was fascinated by the choreography of workers assembling the concert hall's complex steel frame. He photographed the workers assembling the hall and then returned after the building's completion to record a fabulous series of panoramic photos. Garcetti became well known as the District Attorney for Los Angles during the prosecution of O.J. Simpson.
The exhibition organizer is the Virginia Center for Architecture, Richmond, VA.
