MEMPHIS, TN.- The Memphis Brooks Museum of Art presents Material Terrain: A Sculptural Exploration of Landscape and Place, on view through November 26, 2006. Since the beginning of the 20th century, sculptors have experimented with new materials and technologies to explore a variety of themes including reality, nature, the man-made, and the environment. This exhibition, which is on view inside and outside the museum, comprises sculptures fabricated out of both natural and synthetic materials such as fiberglass, fabric, grass, polyethelene, metal, foam, electrical cable, and wood. The sculptors including James Surls, Ursula von Rydingsvard, Donald Lipski, and Ming Fay mix art, science, and the landscape in visually evocative sculptures that provoke thought. Whether exploring nature as a place of wonder, expressing nostalgia for a pre-industrial landscape, addressing the uneasy balance between nature and the man-made, or considering the cycles of cultivation and consumption, the artists in Material Terrain attest to nature¹s power and vitality, literally and figuratively.
