Richard Berger is the 2004 recipient of SFAI's Adaline Kent Award. Titled The Third Time I Saw Phyllis She Exploded, the exhibition is on view in the Walter Galleries June 18 - July 31.
The exhibition features kinetic sculptural works created by the artist since 1990 and is accompanied by a thirty-two page catalogue. For over thirty years, Richard Berger has dedicated himself to making sculpture that invokes and embodies the tension between ideal forms and the details of daily experience. He utilizes Plexiglas, simple machines, light, and type script to create works in which cyclical movement, luminescence, and language interrelate through transparent shapes and shadow.
