 The University of Colorado Boulder recently let loose a press release outlining the construction schedule for their new "Visual Arts Complex," with the construction kicking off in March of '08 and completing sometime during the "2009-10 academic year" (talk about hedging!) But you do have to love the hyperbole: "Along with the new Denver Art Museum wing, CU's Visual Arts Complex
will be one of the most important visual arts contributions in Colorado
history," per art department staffer Garrison Roots. Well, I'm hoping he's refering to the collection as the building (at least as pictured in the press release, right) is without doubt the most mundane looking structure I have seen publicized in a whirlwind year of national museum construction. I guess the stomach for controversy was blown on Ward Churchill, as this building is so bland that it couldn't offend even Hank Brown.I would put it somewhere below the MCA, the wonderful new Colorado Springs FAC and the forthcoming Clyfford Still Museum, but hey, you can bet Regis and Metro State are wishing they were floating similar press.
