Gregory Allicar Museum of Art Celebrates 1960s Exhibition “Off Kilter, On Point”

Experience visual, performing and interact-able art all in one place. The Gregory Allicar Museum of Art at Colorado State University is excited to announce a free reception celebrating the exhibition, Off Kilter, On Point: Art of the 1960s from the Permanent Collection, on Thursday, March 28, from 5-7:30 p.m. at the Gregory Allicar Museum of Art at Colorado State University, sponsored by Hixon Interiors.

The exhibition, Off Kilter, On Point, features the museum’s world-class collection of art of the 1960s. The exhibition showcases a wide range of media and styles, presenting novel juxtapositions that reflect the tumult and innovations of the time. It features several works that have never been displayed before at the museum, including major works by Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Takis, Bridget Riley, and many others.   

The event will feature a Happening, an idea attributed to composer, writer, and visual artist, John Cage, who made a significant impact on various styles of 1960’s art. The Happening involves a chance-driven dance and readings in the galleries inspired by John Cage and Merce Cunningham, performed by Emily Morgan, director of CSU Dance; Lisa Morgan, dance instructor; and Rocky Eisentraut, CSU theatre major, with opportunities for audience participation. Refreshments will be served, and the event is free and open to all.

Date & Time March 28, 5-7:30 p.m.

Location The Gregory Allicar Museum of Art at CSU
