Two Brooklyn-based sculptors – Wendy Klemperer and Steven Brower – will discuss their work Thursday, March 6 at 2:30 p.m. in the Burns Atrium Art Gallery in the Visual Arts Building. An artists’ reception will follow at 4:30 p.m.
This event is free and open to the public.
A native of Boston, Klemperer’s sculptures are raw steel armatures that take horses, wolves and dogs as their subject matter, using the immediate energy and power of those natural forms to explore internal states. “The sculptures are not ultimately about animals as anecdotes or records of an actual creature; they use the body language of animals to express an emotional state,” Klemperer notes.
Brower’s work reflects on the process of making art and shows an interest in de-coding that practice. He remarks: “… one of my biggest concerns is with the act of making things, and making things myself, as a product of curiosity in, research of, and experimentation with, the world around me. As a result, I’ve made lots of things: models, machines, furniture, shoes, houses, tools, food, books, as well as all that ‘traditional’ artwork.”
