UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Dream the Combine, the winner of the prestigious and ultra-competitive Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) PS1/MoMA Young Architects Program (YAP) in 2018, will visit Penn State on Feb. 19 as part of the Stuckeman School’s Lecture and Exhibit Series. Jennifer Newsom, co-founder of the firm, will present “Lacuna” at 6 p.m. in the Stuckeman Family Building Jury Space.
Established by Newsom and Tom Carruthers in Minneapolis in 2013, Dream the Combine’s work consists of site-specific large-scale public art installations that play with reflectivity and capitalize on the potential of the mirror. The duo works to investigate the conceptual overlaps in art, architecture and cultural theory through structures that disrupt assumed dichotomies and manipulate the boundary between real and illusory space.
