Discussion | Subjective Histories of Sculpture


The artist-led lecture series Subjective Histories of Sculpture, initiated in 2006, furthers SculptureCenter's exploration of how contemporary artists think about sculpture: its history, legacies, and potential for innovation. This year, SculptureCenter presents three artists to consider the thematic focus of alignment. Utilizing sculpture as a point of departure and source of inspiration, B. Wurtz, Rossella Biscotti, and Araya Rasdjarmrearook consider tensions and translations between the animate and inanimate, and the empirical and the subjective. Engaging with a rich collection of social, cultural, and political associations, these artists explore the material conditions of our lives and ask how we can re-think official narratives and systems of knowledge.
