Great show! Very interesting exploration of the idea of a boogy man and archetypal symbolism.... The outpost sculptural element and imagined landscape really transform the gallery space.

By far one of the more interesting shows that i have seen at the MCA. ... The Paperwork's Gallery continues to push the envelope yet again with this show from Mr. Helms. Two thumbs up. GO SEE THIS SHOW.

I really liked the pseudo-snipers nest / fortress / battleship / outpost construction in the gallery.... Its sheer scale and construction method in combination with the juxtaposition of imagery from manifest destiny paintings, lone wolves, barren artic landscapes and subtle references to black metal build this dark ambient energy in the gallery space that you can really feel. The paramilitary soldiers draped in blood-like masks definitely add to the tense atmosphere. Although his ink on mylar drawings are a bit more abstract and help to lighten the weight of his darker imagery. Great show.

Sussanne Kuhn raises my consciousness by mirroring our current condition: a complex realm - technological... advancement, permeated by a multi-layered past - against a dimensioned background of Renaissance mindscape.

I love her combination of traditional technique - strict perspective, colors washes and glazes - ... with very contemporary means of expression - kids toys, cartoons, and an complex flow of space. Are you in a dream or her reality - or yours? After hearing her speak about the work I know that the women in the paintings are friends, but I still can't help thinking that these are actually self portraits. There's just so much feeling in the paintings of subjects.

I haven't been to a museum that I like more. I think the building -... the galleries, the circulation, the light - are better than my previous favorite, Louis Kahn's Kimball Art Museum. And since it's been open, the galleries have been filled with some excellent work. Just a great balance of art and architecture - where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. I love it.

The MCA's growth over recent years is a testament to Denver's commitment to support visual art.... The new establishment adorning the corner of 15th and Delgany lends itself as a beacon for new ideas and explores artistic boundaries beyond conventional aesthetic terms. For a young growing Denver art scene the museum really proves its vitality in the area by offering work that creates new dialogue to this community. The current work by Trevor Appleson is an illustration of the MCA's visual vocabulary that pushes beyond the security of impressionism and other dead movements that young artist need see to be a part what is happening now. From the building that houses the art down to the gift shop, the MCA offers itself as an institution of artistic critical thinking that can help area artist improve their ways of seeing and work.

MCA DENVER has been conceptualized as an incubator of ideas in motion. The launch of this web site has been planned from the inception of the Museum's innovative programs to challenge what art means to audiences today. What's It To You? The question is essential to everything that art has to offer - its sublime and rebellious nature intertwined. We ask you for your answers whether subversive, controversial, enticing, or thoughtful. Your responses are part of our open platform. As a Museum Without a Front Door, we extend that same idea with this invitation for your imagination to go global - What's It to You?
