Boise State University Art Department's 'The Room Show' Transforms University Inn for One-Night Art Exhibition

“The Room Show,” a one-night art exhibition presented by the Boise State University Department of Art, will take over part of the former University Inn from 7-9 p.m. Feb. 23. Admission is free.

Artists were asked to create site-specific installations for the Inn, which was sold to the university to make way for a new College of Business and Economics Building. Installations include Kirsten Furlong’s “Housekeeping,” during which viewers will be able to look through a window to watch a housecleaner, provoking considerations of the working poor; Kathleen Keys’ Art 322 class’ “These Walls Are Paper Thin,” featuring drawings and a sound collage as well as an interactive component; and Kelly Siemon and James Hacking’s maze constructed out of found objects. In addition to other installations, the experimental music ensemble Breccia will play “Composition 1960 #7” by native Idahoan composer La Monte Young.
