University Open Air: Daily Objects Altered
This is a sculpture workshop where we’ll reinterpret ordinary objects through sculpting and casting. We'll delve into sculptural methodologies that offer personal interpretations of the mundane aspects of our daily lives. By examining and reimagining the objects that surround us, participants will create personalized versions using epoxy clay and pigments, and then cast their creations in wax to produce duplicates.
Limited to 15 participants.
Michal Alpern is a New York based artist with an MFA from Columbia University and a BFA from Bezalel Academy, Jerusalem. Alpern’s practice shifts between making serieses of objects to room sized sculptures, reconciling spatial thoughts like gesture and materiality with abstractions like gender and domesticity. Her works were featured in museums and institutions in NY and Israel, including solo shows at M23 Gallery, NY, The Museum of Israeli Art, Israel and group shows at False Flag, NY and the LeRoy Neiman Center, NY.
*In cases of rain, classes will be either moved to the Prospect Park Boathouse or canceled. Registered patrons will be notified by email on the morning of each course day and are also encouraged to check the UOA webpage and BPL Presents’ Facebook and Twitter pages for updates.
