Philmont native contributes to MoMA exhibit

Jeff Alexander writes about Philmont woodworker Rowland Butler's contribution to an exhibit currently running at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. A profile of the Philmont native, known locally for his one-of-a-kind furniture designs, appeared in the Feb. 3 edition of the Register-Star. The show, “9 Scripts from a Nation at War” paired Butler with designer Nanna Wulfing. The ten-channel video installation was recently acquired by MoMA, and features various perspectives on war. Butler made the chairs, benches and computer monitor enclosures that constitute the installation's circuitous, non-narrative structure. "9 Scripts" was initially commissioned for the international art exhibit, documenta 12 in 2007. The exhibit runs through August 6. Read the full story in the Register-Star.
