Beyond/In
is a biennial event that started some fifty years ago as a juried event
to showcase leading Western New York artists. It then transitioned to an
invitational exhibition featuring artists selected by a curatorial panel
before finally becoming a regional showing in 2005. This year, the event has
transformed once again into a showing of international art combined with
local and regional work. On Thursday, world renowned artist and
high-wire walker Didier Pasquette will walk between the statues of
liberty that sit atop one of the city's historic gems, the Liberty
Building as an opening reception.
The high-wire walker is a proper choice as opening act for this once city-centric event; the curatorial panel seems to be walking a thin line with their new format. Some artists and art enthusiasts believe it has become a competition for acceptance--a competition between regional and national artists.
