Sterling Ruby
CA Miami presents the first comprehensive museum survey of American/Dutch artist Sterling Ruby.
The exhibition features over 75 works that demonstrate the relationship between material transformation in Ruby鈥檚 practice and the rapid evolution of American culture, institutions, and labor. Spanning more than two decades of the artist鈥檚 career, the exhibition features an array of works created in various mediums, from his renowned ceramics and paintings to lesser-known drawings and installations.
Since his earliest works, Ruby has investigated the role of the artist as an outsider. Critiquing the structures of modernism and traditional institutions, Ruby addresses the repressed underpinnings of American culture and the coding of power and violence. Craft is central to his inquiry, as he explores traditions from Amish quilt-making to California鈥檚 radical ceramics tradition, shaped by his upbringing in Pennsylvania Dutch country.
