New additions to WWU art collection coming from Renée Green

The Western Gallery at Western Washington University will officially unveil a new addition to its world-class public art collection, “Space Poem #15 (To the Remembered Earth)” by artist Renée Green, on Oct. 2. 

The installation appears in three locations across the WWU campus: suspended banners appear in the skybridge between the Academic Instructional Center East and West; double-sided panels are suspended in the lobby windows of WWU’s Interdisciplinary Science Building; and panels hang in the windows of the Western Gallery entry foyer in the Fine Arts Building.

The Western Gallery, the contemporary art museum at Western Washington University, engages its regional audience with exhibitions, public programs, gallery encounters, and more. It programs a world-class campus sculpture collection — now 37 pieces strong and growing — with artists including Isamu Noguchi, Do Ho Suh, Magdalena Abakanowicz, Fred Wilson, and Richard Serra. Twice the campus sculpture collection has been identified among the top ten university public art collections in the country. The Western Gallery is a catalyst for learning, embracing the campus and public communities through experiences that explore our world today.
