LACOSTE, France-The exhibitions department of SCAD presents “Point of Entry: The Space Between Art and Architecture,” a three-person exhibition that explores the reciprocal relationship between art and architecture, featuring sculptural works by Scott Ingram and Lucy Williams and photographs by Josef Schulz. The exhibition will be on display at Galerie Pfriem, Rue du Four, Lacoste, France, Jan. 15-April 6. A reception will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. on Jan. 22 with artists Lucy Williams and Josef Schultz in attendance. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.

“Point of Entry” reveals each artist’s unique point of entry into architectural space, content and context via works that utilize form and materials in interesting and unexpected ways. The exhibition will coincide with the launch of two new majors at SCAD’s Lacoste location––architecture and interior design.

“Historically, art and architecture have always been closely aligned. ‘Point of Entry’ makes specific reference to modernist architecture through a range of contemporary art practices. The exhibition showcases three artists who are inspired by modern architecture and use it as a point of entry into their artistic practices,” said SCAD senior curator Melissa Messina.

Scott Ingram was born in Drumright, Okla., in 1968. He is a recent finalist in the inaugural Atlanta cycle of the Artadia Awards 2009 competition. Ingram has had recent solo exhibitions at Solomon Projects in Atlanta (2007); Emily Murphy Fine Art in Madrid, Spain (2007); the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria in Canada (2007); and the Sandler Hudson Gallery in Atlanta (2005). His work has been included in group shows at the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center, Arkansas State University, the Spruill Center for the Arts in Atlanta, and others. Over the past two years, Ingram and his work have been featured in Artforum, Art in America, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and ART PAPERS. He lives and works in Atlanta.
