Binion/Saarinen: A McArthur Binion Project

Through this exhibition, Binion is returning to the genesis of his painting practice rooted in his formative years at Cranbook, where he spent a significant time exploring the grounds, architecture, and designs of Saarinen. Binion is a fascinating example of how architectural intentionality resonates in those who live and learn within it. As an exercise in autobiographical cartography, Binion’s new works will be derived from research of Saarinen’s biography and exhibited alongside selections of the architect’s drawings, concept sketches, and design objects, as well as one work from Eliel’s son Eero Saarinen.
