Connecting with Contemporary SculptureJanuary 30 - May 16, 2010 ![]() Ruth Duckworth (German, b. 1919) Untitled 1998 Porcelain lent by Mark Landrum Inhabiting our space, sculpture immediately impacts the viewer. We feel a visceral connection with it not experienced when looking at a two-dimensional painting. This exhibition explores this relationship between the viewer and art object in order to encourage a personal and more profound encounter with pieces of contemporary art that all too often give rise to confusion and alienation. The materials used will be considered as well as the unique qualities of the basic matter selected and the ways in which it is worked by the artist. This is followed by a consideration of the analytical approach chosen by the artist. These pieces will be related to a series of overarching themes that will be considered in relation to stylistic, contextual, and theoretical standpoints as well as the cultural origins of the artist. |
