LAMAG is hosting two, free one-hour online overviews of artworks from Heavy Metal!
Revisiting and challenging historically dominant narratives in large-scale sculpture, this group exhibition engages with the legacy of formalism and theatricality while exploring abstraction, colonialism, memory, nature, objecthood, and site. Expanding beyond an initial focus on metal, the works bring material and conceptual depth to question the history of monumentality in sculpture to propose renewed ways of thinking about form, space, and relation.
Heavy Metal is curated by LAMAG curator, Nancy Meyer and includes works by Kelly Akashi, Miya Ando, Barbara Berk, Amy Bessone, Tanya Brodsky, Beatriz Cortez, Claire Chambless, Alika Cooper, Paige Emery, Katie Grinnan, Ting Ying Han, Andrea Hidalgo, Kelly Lamb, Abigail Lucien, Fay Ray, Brie Ruais, Carolyn Salas, Davina Semo, Kelly Wall, and Lisa Williamson.
All are welcome! The virtual program is facilitated by LAMAG Art Education Coordinator Marta Feinstein.
