Carl Andre: Sculpture as Place, 1958-2010
Symposium (Day 1 of 2)
Saturday 15 November, 2014
11am - 4pm, $12/Rsvp
Dia: Beacon
3 Beekman Street, Beacon NY
For over five decades, Carl Andre’s work has redefined the boundaries of sculpture and has dramatically influenced art today. A practitioner of post-studio methods and site-specific intervention, Andre resisted easy categorization—Minimalism, Concep- tualism and Land Art— while navigating between many modes of production. In addition to his signature floor-bound sculptures, other bodies of work created since the late 1950s, have come to the fore, thus encouraging new avenues of scholarship.
Dia has invited Anna Chave, Mark Godfrey, James Meyer and Lynda Morris, to encourage new perspectives on Andre’s work, whose influence reaches several generations of artists, scholars and viewers.
