As a brief introduction, here is what BYU has to say about Steinhilber: "During the last decade, Steinhilber's explorations have lead to fantastical installations of flickering fluorescent light bulbs, dangling dry-cleaner hangers, flying packing peanuts, inflated trash bags, and interconnected rings of PVC pipe. By utilizing a visual language familiar to most of us, he explores the beauty and the natural qualities of the mundane, in a way that compels us to become more aware. Like Marcel Duchamp or Andy Warhol before him, Steinhilber chooses familiar mass-produced objects for his medium."
In the front entryway of the museum there's this sculpture made of dry-cleaner hangers called Untitled. In fact, all of his works are called Untitled.













Steinhilber's got a fascination with garbage bags. These black ones have been sealed together with an iron and then pumped with air so they're floating around taking up a bunch of space.











There's also an exhibit of photographs and actual models of the sets made by the I SPY guy - Walter Wick.



I like the colorful balloons!
