Weir Was Here - Secret Rooms, Doors and Windows
Saturday January 12, 2013 from 7:00am - 7:00am
Brigham Young University Museum of Art
North Campus Dr
Provo, Utah 84602 Get Directions
This solo exhibit, by New York artist Xiomoro (pronounced "SEE-oh-MAH-ro"), features photographs from the first artistic collection documenting the beauty and textures of the interiors of Julian Alden Weir's house and studio. Weir was one of the founders of American Impressionism, and his house and studio are part of what is now Weir Farm National Historic Site in Connecticut.

Xiomoro will give a Gallery Talk on November 1 from 3:00 p.m. to 3:50 p.m. at 1131 HBLL Special Collections Lecture Room, Harold B. Lee Library, at BYU. The artist will give away free 4" x 6" souvenir prints to all in attendance and will also randomly select one or two people to receive a different, larger print. Admission to the exhibit and to the Gallery Talk is free of charge.

The photographs have been extensively exhibited in Connecticut as well as at the Washington, DC, office of Senator Joseph Lieberman who co-sponsored the bill to include Weir Farm as part of the National Park system. The collection arrives at BYU just as the University's exhibit of paintings - "The Weir Family, 1820-1920: Expanding the Traditions of American Art" - travels to museums in Connecticut and North Carolina. Julian Alden Weir, his father Robert and his older brother John helped to shape American art for nearly a century.
