Collection Selections features work in a variety of media from the permanent collection of the museum and local collections. In one gallery, artists' work respond to themes of consumption and repetition, including a found object installation by Steve Wiman and plastic bag collage by Virginia Fleck. Exhibition works by James Turrell and Vija Celmins allude to infinite spaces.
