Transformations are everywhere. from the Climate to the Cosmos, from Economics to the Social and Political. Transformations ignite the magic and alchemy that is the very essence of the artists’ work, presenting new ways of seeing, making, and experiencing.
On Governors Island this summer the Sculptors Guild proudly presents 38 sculptors in the exhibition TRANSFORMATION. The artists exploring these changes use a diverse range of media and approaches, reflecting the tools and materials that technology has made available, and incorporating diverse materials of video, sound, scent, recycled materials, gems, wood, steel, cement, and the like.
The work is presented in five galleries in five individually themed shows. These themes express different aspects of transformation by delving into issues of everyday significance, revealed in physical structures, objects, and mixed-media installations as a pathway for communication.
BALANCING ACT: seeking a point between opposing forces
BROKEN LINES: geometric distortion and motion
ORGANICITY: observations of change in the heart of nature
POETRY & PROSE: transformative sculpture expressing the power of literature
UPCYCLE: innovative relationships between the natural, the artificial, and the overlooked
TRANSFORMATION also includes a NEW MEMBERS GALLERY, OUTDOOR WORKS, and a summer- long ARTIST RESIDENCY.
The mission of the Sculptors Guild has always been to bring sculptural experience directly to the public. At the Guild, we are proud of our illustrious past that includes notable sculptors such as Louise Bourgeois, David Smith, Louise Nevelson and Chaim Gross. While we reshape and change our Guild to focus on a new generation of contemporary sculptors, we are energized by our heritage and
excited about our future.!
