Artists’ Panel Discussion and “Being Woman” Exhibition Opening at Sculpturesite Gallery
Sculpturesite Gallery’s latest exhibition "Being Woman" brings together sculptures as diverse in concept as in execution by five accomplished women sculptors. Although much progress has been made toward achieving equality in the workforce, political sphere and at home, curator Brigitte Micmacker notes, “Many American women’s lives are still veritable obstacle courses, avoiding injustice, brutality and insults on a daily basis, while attempting to achieve a grounding and balanced self-image in spite of the constant din of media input.”
In this context, Micmacker has asked five remarkable women sculptors to bring their perspective to this exhibition: Bella Feldman, Jane Burton, Gale Hart, Carol Koffel and Suzanne Morlock. In their powerful conceptual works, tackling issues including cultural near-taboos such as gun ownership and violence, body image and control, woman’s work versus “real” work and the still ubiquitous glass ceiling, they explore how being a woman in a male dominated world continues to inform their life and art practice.
During the panel discussion that will bring together these five women for the first time on the exhibition’s opening day, Sunday, October 5th, Micmacker will ask each artist to elaborate on her life and artistic path, and will moderate a discussion on the subjects that they approach in their work. This is a unique, not-to-be-missed opportunity to hear how these five powerful women respond to issues facing women today in their own lives, and how these topics have shaped their artwork. The panel discussion begins at 2:30PM in the Cornerstone Gardens Barn. A reception with hors d’oeuvres by Park Avenue Catering and wine by Poseidon Vineyard and Keating Wines will follow in the Gallery from 4 to 5PM.
An exhibition catalogue signed by the 5 artists will be available at the gallery during the event.
Tickets are $25 and are available through the gallery or at https://www.eventbrite.com. Seating is limited and reservations are required.
