Wexner is home to unique exhibitions

Imagination and exploration are what it's all about this spring at the Wexner Center for the Arts, which is home to three new exhibitions on view from until July 26—"Catch Air" by South African artist Robin Rhode, "Beyond the Blue" by the Viennese architectural firm COOP HIMMELB(L)AU, and "Transfigurations" by world-renown ballet choreographer William Forsythe.

The three new exhibitions follow the retrospective Andy Warhol exhibit with strikingly new concepts that focus on what can happen when people let their minds run without strict rules, matching them either immediately or eventually with logic and reality. The key is that each exhibition accomplishes something larger than life, but in a very playful way.

The combination of all three of these exhibitions is a Wexner Center show that explodes with innovative ideas that encourage a person to do or think the impossible, just as Prix hopes. As Catharina Manchanda, curator of "Catch Air," says in a YouTube video, "It really depends what you bring to the exhibition, and if you come with an open mind chances are you will leave inspired and with many new ideas."
