MATERIAL TERRAIN: A SCULPTURAL EXPLORATION OF LANDSCAPE AND PLACE

MATERIAL TERRAIN: A SCULPTURAL EXPLORATION OF LANDSCAPE AND PLACE

March 17 – June 17 2007

Enormous sculptures, composed of surprising materials such as poured fiberglass, polyethelene, aluminum chain-link steel and even wheat grass, will fill the Museum and also be sited in the surrounding gardens. Artists featured in Material Terrain use diverse materials and techniques to address intersections between the natural and the constructed environments. Featured projects explore human associations with the natural terrain to reveal the fantasy of nature as a place of retreat and wonder.
