SculptureCenter is pleased to announce our participation in the 2011 edition of New York Gallery Week, May 5-8. SculptureCenter’s participation consists of a special pop-up exhibition of the SculptureCenter Limited Edition Photo Portfolio, featuring newly commissioned photographs by Leslie Hewitt, Marlo Pascual, Erin Shirreff, Kathrin Sonntag and Sara VanDerBeek. Sharing an interest in the materiality of images and the way the photographic image affects the way we experience form, each artist explores concerns that are central to the current dialogue around the relationship between sculpture and photography. Leo Koenig Inc. Projekte is generously hosting SculptureCenter for this special presentation.
The annual SculptureCenter Limited Edition is a prestigious commission, selecting one or more artists to create an innovative and accessible artwork for emerging and blue chip collectors alike. All proceeds from the sale of this edition directly supports SculptureCenter's dynamic exhibition program. Artists who have produced editions for SculptureCenter include: Walead Beshty, Tom Otterness, Jenny Holzer, Ugo Rondinone, Peter Coffin, Julianne Swartz, Do-Ho Suh, and Fred Wilson.

Opening Reception Hosted by SculptureCenter’s NewArtNetwork members

Fionn Meade in conversation with Sara VanDerBeek
SculptureCenter curator Fionn Meade discusses the the relationship between sculpture and photography with Photo Portfolio artist Sara VanDerBeek.
Photographs by Sara VanDerBeek are based predominantly on sculptural forms created by the artist. Many of these feature discrete sculptural set-ups that deftly reference not only archaic effigies, but also appropriated imagery and Modern design. Constructed expressly in order to be photographed VanDerBeek's sculptural process offers dexterous and subtle juxtapositions that reveal how history changes our view of images, and images change our view of history.
Sunday, May 8, 2011, 5-7pm
Opening Reception for Time Again, an exhibition that explores the language of repetition, bringing together works that destabilize conventional ways of seeing and considering what is past and what is present. Engaging gesture, image sequence, material affect, and displaced narrative, the works on view create disjunctions with the way the time of the present is experienced, challenging our understanding of what it means to be contemporaries. Curated by Fionn Mead. More information may be found on our website www.sculpture-center.org.
