This week, we visit The Nasher Sculpture Center and speak with Curator Dakin Hart about the exhibition, Sculpture in So Many Words: Text Pieces 1960-1980. On view through January 13, 2013.
Show Notes:
Exciting, new and challenging exhibitions are now at The Nasher Sculpture Center. Rediscoveries: Modes of Making Modern Sculpture and Sculpture in So Many Words: Text Pieces 1960-1980 will be held in tandem at the Nasher to shed light on the meaning, relevance and importance of modern and conceptual sculpture.
Rediscoveries utilizes Auguste Rodin’s quote “I invent nothing; I rediscover” as the springboard to delve into the past 125 years of sculpture, to analyze four creative tactics used to fashion modern sculpture. The first approach examined in this exhibition is the artists’ use of modules, series and process. Second, the reciprocity between fragment and totality, that is the interplay that the whole has to its parts, particularly within the human form. The third mode surveyed is the machine aesthetic that was thoroughly examined during the rise of industrialization during the early 20th century. Last and certainly not least, how everyday materials are repurposed into fine art. That’s a lot to tackle within one show, but the Nasher succeeds to bring to light all of these elements by displaying art from the power players of modern sculpture: Henri Matisse, Alberto Giacometti, Carl Andre, Richard Serra, Richard Long, Alexander Calder, Ellsworth Kelly, Naum Gabo, Raymond Duchamp-Villon, John Chamberlain, Jasper Johns, just to name a few.
