MIKE WHITING'S "8-BIT MODERN" IN EXTRAORDINARY VIEW AT BYU MUSEUM OF ART THROUGH MARCH 2013

We traveled through the devastating fires blistering through both Colorado and Utah earlier this week to get to Provo, Utah just to see the full glory that is Mike Whiting's first major outdoor museum exhibition of his large-scale works "8-Bit Modern" at the BYU's Museum of Art.  The show is a tour-de-force for Whiting's work, something that would not at all be out of place at Denver's Botanic Gardens or any number of prominent settings throughout the country.  Whiting's first museum solo exhibition takes place at his undergraduate alma-matter, coinciding with a point in his career that is thoroughly in high-stride.   Whiting's signature works are thoughtful, playful and thoroughly sublime, particularly when viewed at the large scale that has found a place in many public collections across the country.  Views of the show are now posted to Plus Gallery's facebook page and will be added to his artists page on the Plus Gallery website next week.
