ORIGINS: Elemental Forms in Contemporary Sculpture April 6 – June 9, 2013 Co-curated by Suzanne Tan and Ann Weber, this exhibition explores the primal and evolutionary impulses of shape, form, and figure as expressed through distinct works from an accomplished and diverse group of sculptors. The work selected for this exhibition hovers between figuration and abstraction and explores the limits of that ambiguous territory. Participating artists include Tor Archer, Donald Fortescue, Carrie Lederer, Nina Lyons, Gay Outlaw, Sam Perry, Eric Powell, Matt Reynoso, Yoshi Saito, Gordon Senior, Joe Slusky, and Esther Traugot.
