From the archive
Sarah Lucas: Florian and Kevin
Gigantic in scale and fantastical in nature, Sarah Lucas’s Florian and Kevin inhabit the Aspen Art Museum’s Roof Deck Sculpture Garden, seemingly transported from a fairy tale. These immense squashes, cast entirely of concrete, sit on top of the museum as if sprouted from Jack’s magical beanstalk. Continuing Lucas’s practice of repurposing ordinary objects into unusual contexts, the enormous gourds play with our sense of scale, offering a perspective that is at once familiar and unsettling.

Artists
The Revolution Will Not Be Gray presents a selection of works that look both backward and forward at the shifting terrain of revolution, protest, and gestures of refusal. Examining the impetus to observe the world in strictly black-and-white terms, the exhibition reveals an intricate set of histories, politics, and identities, reminding us of the inherent power in the human voice. Featuring work by Andrea Bowers, Abraham Cruzvillegas, Claire Fontaine, Sharon Hayes, Iman Issa, Tony Lewis, Glenn Ligon, Carlos Motta, Pedro Reyes, Adam Pendleton, and Carey Young.
AAM exhibitions are made possible by the Marx Exhibition Fund. General exhibition support is provided by the Toby Devan Lewis Visiting Artist Fund.
