Wexner Center for the Arts

Home to exhibitions, film screenings, and talks that are at the forefront of artistic expression, The Wex defines itself as:

Contemporary

Key Features:

• Lots of natural light

• Sharp corners and blank walls

• Open concept exhibition spaces

• Lacks color outside of the artwork

• Lots of key lighting to highlight work

• Signage printed directly on the wall

• Gift shop with books about art & social issues

Key Guiding Principles:

• A forum where artists can share ideas and people can engage with art and modern issues

• Investing in art and the creative process

• Prioritizing diversity, equity, inclusion, and access

Based on these elements, we agree that the Wexner Center is Controversial.

• A lot of the aspects of the building spark controversy, from the architecture to the art housed within.

• Art itself is controversial, as it often speaks about uncomfortable topics that are polarizing
