Human Scale
Mar 11, 2016 - Apr 10, 2016
Human Scale examines the evolving relationship between the body and sculpture through the work of five internationally renowned artists. Drawing exclusively on the national collection, the exhibition reflects upon the persistent question of scale in sculpture, as contemporary artists adapt to new materials, means and technologies for figurative representation. The works on view by Ron Mueck, Evan Penny, Ugo Rondinone, Karin Sander, and the late Louise Bourgeois each vary dramatically in size and proportion, making for a provocative exploration of the physical, psychological and expressive character shaping what it means to be human.
