The work of Bruce Goff and his many contemporaries to found a suis generis form of modern architecture in Oklahoma and California is the subject of a new exhibition being staged now at the Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center in Oklahoma City.
The University of Oklahoma's Gibbs College of Architecture’s Dr. Angela Person, Dr. Stephanie Z. Pilat, and Marco Piscitelli curate ‘Outré West: The American School of Architecture from Oklahoma to California’, a look at the prominence of Goff and other acolytes such as Herb Greene after their efforts launched environmentally conscious design into the mainstream beginning in the 1950s and 60s. Person will be remembered from this summer's popular ‘Capital Brutalism’ exhibition at the National Building Museum and says they will be presented as “renegades” along with over 200 documents of their contributions to the vast mosaic of American modernist design, including the Pavilion for Japanese Art in Los Angeles and Prairie House in Norman.
The final day to see the exhibition is January 27th, 2025.
