VISIONARY ARCHITECT DANIEL LIBESKIND TO BE FOCAL POINT OF CINCINNATI CONTEMPORARY ARTS CENTER EXHIBITION

The intuition, dynamism and creative ingenuity of world-renowned architect Daniel Libeskind is the subject of a new exhibition at the Contemporary Arts Center (CAC) in the Lois & Richard Rosenthal Center  for Contemporary Art, curated by art historian Cynthia Goodman and Studio Daniel Libeskind. The CAC exhibition moves architectural designs beyond constructive forms to the realm of creative acts as illustrated by Libeskind, the architect of the nearly completed residential project, The Ascent at Roebling’s Bridge in Covington Kentucky  

This exhibition brings together three of Libeskind’s North American museums: the Denver Art Museum, the Royal Ontario Museum and the Contemporary Jewish Museum, represented by three independent, but related structures and allowing for an interactive relationship between the visitor and architecture. Images of Libeskind’s first North American high-rise project, the Ascent, as well as the aforementioned projects, are on view.
