    • Carol Bove was born in 1971 in Geneva, Switzerland, to American parents, and currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. She creates simple yet intricate assemblages of found and made objects, carefully arranged on pedestals, elevated platforms, or directly against walls and ceilings to yield unexpected, poetic, and multilayered meanings. Her work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at institutions including the Museum of Modern Art, New York, Palais de Tokyo, Paris, Blanton Museum of Art, TX, Kunsthalle Zürich, Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, and the Kunstverein Hamburg.

    • Free sculpture from its rigidity, letting it blossom into forms familiar to the fountains created by artist Lynda Benglis. Students will trade marble and chisel for colorful, elastic materials. Busy hands will stuff, pour, and stretch materials to new heights. These funky forms are sure to stand on their own.

    • How do you design something to change the world? In this open-ended, project-based Workshop, teens will be encouraged to design an individual artwork or product with potential larger social impact. Using a variety of inspirations, materials, and methods, participants will be given the space to identify a problem or challenge in their life, think creatively, and develop a design solution.

    • Lynda Benglis was born in 1941 in Lake Charles, Louisiana, and currently lives and works between New York, Santa Fe, and Ahmedabad, India. In the sixties, she emerged as a pioneer in abstraction, placing both traditional and nontraditional materials in action. A survey of her work recently took place at the Van Abbemuseum, the Netherlands, which then traveled to the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Le Consortium, Dijon, the Museum of Art Rhode Island School of Design, the New Museum, New York, and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.
