![New exhibition opening at the O on February 27! Ogden Museum of Southern Art will present “BUILT: Sculpture from the Collection," examining how Southern artists engage various mediums and practices to explore the power of sculptural form.
Unlike painting and photography, sculpture engages three coordinates, existing in the same space as our bodies. Whether self-taught or academic, traditional or experimental – the artists in this exhibition engage scale, proportion, shape, form, space, color and texture to convey their vision in three dimensions.
"BUILT" features works by Lynda Benglis, Willie Birch, Clyde Connell, Jeffrey Cook, William Dunlap, Lin Emery, Lonnie Holley, Nene Humphrey, William Monaghan, Sherry Owens, Martin Payton, John T. Scott, Ersy Schwartz and Robert Tannen.
“BUILT will be the first exhibition drawn from the Museum’s permanent collection that is focused solely upon sculptural artworks,” says Bradley Sumrall, Curator of the Collection at Ogden Museum. “This presents an opportunity to illustrate the depth and breadth of the Museum’s collection of 3-dimensional art.”
