  Wexner Center for the Arts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wexner Center for the Arts is a contemporary art gallery and "research laboratory" for the arts at the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio.
The Wexner Center opened in November of 1989, named in honor of the father of Limited Brands founder Leslie Wexner, who was a major donor to the Center.
Though most of the exhibitions in the Wexner Center are only up for a limited time, it is home to a permanent outdoor installation designed by Maya Lin for the Center, entitled Groundswell, which is composed of rolling mounds of broken glass.

 CMA Community Conferences Online : Sherri Geldin, Director, Wexner Center for the Arts, Columbus, Ohio
I think most of you know that the Wexner Center for the Arts, unlike most of the institutions being discussed here today, is a multidisciplinary institution-one in which the visual arts are not privileged over performing art, film, video, architecture, and design.
I should say here that the Wexner Center was Peter Eisenman's first publicly scaled building; he had done houses and some other small-scale projects prior to this commission, but when the Wexner Center opened in 1989 it was certainly his largest commission to date.
But the fact is that over the last many years, the center's curatorial staff-alongside the artists with whom we have worked so closely-have found ways to really spar with Peter's design, and have come to have enormous respect for the kind of potential that he embedded in the building.
