'Architecture of Life' highlights: 3 artists to get to be excited for
Now that it’s relocated at Downtown Berkeley, the Berkeley Art Museum/Pacific Film Archive is doing its best to remind us how lucky we are to have such a great museum within walking distance. Not only is BAMPFA having a weeklong roster of events to celebrate its grand opening — including a space-themed opening party for students, the museum has put together an impressive collection of pieces for its inaugural exhibition, “Architecture of Life.” The exhibition explores “architecture” as a fluid metaphor for all sorts of ideas. Out of the dozen of artists on display, here are three incredibly influential artists whose pieces are part of the collection. We explain why they’re influential, and why you should be excited to see their work at “Architecture of Life.”
