Grace Chin, our executive director, reflects on the Martin Puryear: Nexus exhibition on display now at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
"Sculpture should not behave. It should challenge us physically, intellectually, and emotionally.
If we want an art scene that reflects the complexity of the world we live in, we must make space for disciplines that resist easy interpretation. Sculpture does that. It slows us down. It disrupts our assumptions. And at its best, it changes how we understand what sculpture can do and how we understand ourselves.”
Don't miss your chance to join The Sculpture Center this Thursday, May 14 as we tour Martin Puryear: Nexus with curator Emily Liebert followed by dinner at Edwins Leadership & Restaurant Institute. Sign up here: https://sculpturecenter.org/curator-led-tour-martin-puryear-dinner/

“Today, sculpture is one of the most experimental and challenging disciplines in contemporary art. It may not always possess the polished finish or material mastery associated with artists like [Martin] Puryear, and, increasingly, it is not meant to feel resolved. Instead, it invites tension between form and concept. That gap between intention and interpretation is part of what makes sculpture resonate.”
Read more from our Executive Director Grace Chin in her op-ed published on cleveland.com, where she reflects on the celebrated work of sculptor Martin Puryear and the vision behind the work of The Sculpture Center.
