Practically Absurd at LSU MOA

Internationally renowned artist and designer Peter Shire reimagines the design of household objects, striving to confront issues of modernity while examining the practical needs of society. The artist’s playful attitudes toward life translate well into his bold, colorful chairs, tables and other functional household constructions. Don’t miss this chance to see the whimsical work of an artist who pushes the boundaries and at times eliminates them altogether at Practically Absurd at the LSU Museum of Art, beginning Friday, and continuing through April 14. It’s just one part of a three-part retrospective—Peter Shire, One Retrospective, Three Venues—which continues at the Glassell Gallery and Union Art Gallery. This retrospective presents an overall, in-depth study of Shire’s work over the past four decades. Visit lsumoa.com for more information.
