In Short – From Picasso's "Guernica" in 1940 to Mapplethorpe's photos in 1990, the Contemporary Arts Center has consistantly challenged the artisitic community. Experiential installations using lights, sounds, and even high-speed winds are designed to stimulate--if not assault--the senses. The building itself is a work of art all its own. With the "urban carpet" and glass-enclosed lobby, boundaries are dissolved: sidewalk becomes museum floor, floor curves into wall, and the building itself seems to float on the air.
