Contemporary Sculpture
Location: University Art Gallery
Description: Contemporary Sculpture
University Art Gallery
Reception: Tues. Oct. 6, 4-6 p.m.
Gallery talk by Professors DeHoog and Nelson, 5 p.m.
Curated by John DeHoog and Brian Nelson, Contemporary Sculpture shows the work of eight established and emerging sculptors who address such current issues as consumption, waste, science, the body, war, and commoditization. Despite their topicality, these sculptures are largely abstract and highly attentive to the formal aspects of sculpture. Each artist represented acknowledges the traditions of sculpture while managing to upend customary expectations. Eileen Doktorski (Utah) and Mike McFalls (Georgia) use trash as both subject and medium, while Stephen Cartwright (Illinois) employs laser etching and rapid prototyping to explore the time honored subject of the natural landscape. Technically, the works range from the virtuosic precision of Dustin Farnsworth’s (Michigan) bentwood forms to the improvisational freedom of Travis Townsend’s (Kentucky) whimsical constructions. Other artists included in the exhibit are Maki Hajikano (Texas), Dora Natella (Indiana), and Anthony Cervino (Pennsylvania).
