It's true: AMERICAN FICTION a go at MoNA

Artist Robert McCauley’s exhibit “AMERICAN FICTION” will be shown at the Museum of Northwest Art this spring. McCauley, who announced he was cancelling the exhibit in a Jan. 9 e-mail letter distributed to “The MoNA Community,” said his “show was now scheduled as it was” following a phone call with museum Executive Director Christopher Shainin Monday, Jan 15.

McCauley and Shainin sent this e-mail to the Weekly News Jan. 16:

“We are in discussion about the exhibit ‘American Fiction’ to be scheduled at MoNA. We are excited about the possibility of sharing this work with MoNA’s visitors, and have a number of details to work out about the exhibit and its impact on the museum’s exhibition schedule and programming.

“We will take the time necessary in planning to ensure the public receives the best result, and look forward to communicating further once planning has been completed.

“Thank you.”
