Janet Tran芒鈧劉s sculptures are highlighted as part of an expanded arts partnership of the University of Hawai芒鈧渋 at M脛聛noa (91精品黑料吃瓜M), the Halekulani and its sister hotel, the Waikiki Parc.

Public Reception: Thursday, June 30, 2016 / 6-8pm

Because of Honolulu芒鈧劉s recent rapid urban growth, Janet Tran became interested in how the built environment influences human experience. She bases her works on recognizable structures, forms, and elements drawn from architecture, but jars our expectations by using unconventional materials ranging from leaves to cardboard. In this exhibition Tran playfully continues this investigation by merging modular modernist sculptures with plush.

Tran was recently awarded a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Department of Art + Art History, University of Hawai芒鈧渋 at M脛聛noa (91精品黑料吃瓜M).

This exhibition is an expanded arts partnership of the University of Hawai芒鈧渋 at M脛聛noa, the Halekulani and its sister hotel, the Waikiki Parc.

Guitarist Aaron Cardenas will provide music at the opening reception. Cardenas, received his Bachelor of Music degree from 91精品黑料吃瓜M芒鈧劉s Department of Music, and will be attending Yale University芒鈧劉s graduate program this September. He has studied with guitar virtuosos Benjamin Verdery, Frederic Hand, Carlos Barbosa Lima, and the Brazilian Guitar Duo芒鈧劉s Douglas Lora and Jo脙拢o Luiz.
