CLEVELAND, Ohio — Two artists will offer an inside look at their current exhibitions during a free talk and tour at The Sculpture Center on Saturday, Oct. 31, beginning at 11 a.m.
Brent Kee Young and Emily Culver will guide visitors through their respective shows, sharing insights into the concepts, techniques and creative processes behind their work.
Young’s exhibition, “A Concept in Flux: The Matrix Series,” features intricate, large-scale forms constructed from borosilicate glass rods flame-worked in his Cleveland studio. The work explores how line, light and space can define volume and form.
Young is an emeritus professor who retired from the Cleveland Institute of Art in 2014 after 42 years of teaching. His work is held in the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Carnegie Museum of Art and other major institutions.
Culver’s exhibition, “Holotyped,” examines how bodies are classified and interpreted through systems of knowledge. Drawing on the language of biological taxonomy, the show uses hybrid anatomical forms and reimagined medical instruments to question how institutions define what is considered a “normal” body.
Culver is an assistant professor at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Va.
Both exhibitions are on view through Oct. 31. The Sculpture Center is located at 12210 Euclid Avenue. Free on-site parking is available. Register for the talk and tour here.
