Juror’s Statement
Amy Gilman, Associate Director, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art
Toledo Museum of Art

Selecting works for The Sculpture Center’s exhibition After the Pedestal was a pleasure for me both personally and professionally. I very much enjoyed my time getting to know the breadth and quality of work being produced by artists in this region, very few of whom I was familiar with prior to this experience.

It is always a difficult to make final decisions about what to include, and this was a particular challenge to me as I became increasingly familiar with the work. Being the juror in exhibitions such as this is one is a complicated task. Making judgments from still images, about unfamiliar work, and without additional context can be daunting. From the initial pass through of all the entries to refining the final selection, the overarching goal is to single out the highest quality, irrespective of media, and to end with a group of works that highlight individual achievements and also hang together as an exhibition.

I was pleased and honored when Ann Albano invited me to select this exhibition, and I would like to thank Ann and the rest of The Sculpture Center staff for including me in this process. Finally, I want to acknowledge and thank all the artists who participated, both those included in the exhibition and those whose work didn’t make it this time. Your work enlivens all such exhibitions as this, and for that, I thank you.
