SCE Faculty Allan Wexler will participate in the panel discussion, “Crossing Disciplines – Art/Architecture/Technology,” hosted by Pratt Manhattan Gallery on Tuesday, May 4 at 6PM. In conjunction with the exhibition, “Envelopes,” the discussion will explore the possibilities of combining disciplines and collaborating with professionals from multiple practices. Moderated by Susan S. Szenasy, editor in chief, “Metropolis,” panelists include Wexler (allanwexlerstudio.com), and “Envelopes” exhibitors Mary Ellen Carroll/MEC design studios and Jason Kelly Johnson (future-cities-lab.net).

Since the late 1960’s, Allan Wexler has drawn from the fields of the visual arts, architecture, and design to examine art’s place and purpose. Wexler’s recent solo exhibitions include Ronald Feldman Gallery, NYC; San Francisco Museum of Art; and Parrish Art Museum, Southampton, NY. His public commissions can be seen at the Hudson River Park, NYC; Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati; Long Island Railroad terminal, Brooklyn, and others. He received the Henry J. Leir Prize presented by the Leir Charitable Foundations. His “Gardening Sukkah” was selected as best work in “Reinventing Ritual: Contemporary Art and Design for Jewish Life” at The Jewish Museum in 2010. Wexler teaches at Parsons The New School for Design.

“Envelopes” is made possible by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts and with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency; and the Cultural Services of the French Embassy in the United States.
