The State of Sculpture–Part 1: On Objects focuses on how the shifts in sculpture’s identity and formats influence the practices of those contemporary artists who today choose to produce singular, stand-alone objects. The artists, Jeanne Silverthorne, Roxy Paine, and Curtis Mitchell will be speak to the experiences, and intentions that inform their inquiry into the performative (active) nature of objects. They will address the issues of specificity, literalism, process as image and representation. They will also discuss the diverse strategies by which they choreograph the complex interaction between the object, and viewer as a way to re-assert sculpture’s continued relevance as a means by which they seek to expose these unstated, unintended, or unacknowledged conditions, which speak for and of their “selves” through their works.

The State of Sculpture–Part 2: On Installations focuses on works that are assembled or composed from diverse materials and spatial elements. Based on the premise that Russell Maltz’s constructions materials, Beth Campbell’s erratic mobiles, and Bill Albertini’s game of chance depicted in his video installation (Hand) Cube Drop, function as varied types of intervention relative to the norms of daily life, they will be asked to extrapolate on the types of experiences, narratives, and commentaries they seek to generate. The panelists will also explore the differing logics, concepts, and conditions by which these artists seek to exploit the contingencies inherent in their works’ materiality, as well as the terms of their production and presentation. Of particular interest within this context will be the discussion of how an encounter with such works might serve as a model for the negotiation of the incongruities of everyday-life.

David Goodman is an artist and writer living and working in New York City. Goodman is a Director and Executive Board member of Critical Practices Inc (NYC), an AIM Residency Fellow at the Bronx Museum of Art (2012).
