DALLAS - MINNEAPOLIS INTERCHANGE
The work of artists from Minnesota and Texas will be paired in a
cooperative exhibition called Interchange, opening at the Dallas Museum
of Fine Arts on July 26 and continuing through September 4. The project,
sponsored by the Dallas Museum and the Walker Art Center of Minneapolis,
will feature three artists from each state and will be seen in Minneapolis
from December 17 through January 28.
Selected by curators from both museums to participate in the exhibi-
tion are painters Sam Gummelt and Jim Roche and sculptor George Green
from Texas and painters Jerry Kielkopf and Jerry Ott and sculptor Carl
Brodie from Minnesota.
The Dallas opening marks the first exhibition of the Interchange
program which was conceived as a pilot project with the hope that other museums
across the country will sponsor similar exhibitions of multi-regional
work. These exhibitions provide opportunities for a decentralization of
New York and Los Angeles art production and enable artists from different
regions to exchange ideas.
Organized by Robert M. Murdock, Curator, Dallas Museum of Fine Arts
and Richard Koshalek, Curator, Walker Art Center, Interchange is supported
by grants-in-aid awarded by the Texas Commission on the Arts and Humanities,
with funds appropriated by the Texas State Legislature and the Minnesota
State Arts Council with funds appropriated by the Minnesota State Legis-
lature and the National Endowment for the Arts.
