Arlene Shechet visits This is the Modern World
Thursday, July 11th, 9am - Noon
on This Is The Modern World with Trouble

oin Trouble as she welcomes amazing artist Arlene Shechet to This is the Modern World, in honor of her 'Girl Group' show now on display at Storm King Art Center. Since the mid 1990's Shechet has worked in a range of materials, often contrasting media such as wood, metal, paper and ceramics. Her imaginative show at the Frick Museum in 2017 was a dialogue with their Meissen porcelain collection and included porcelain pieces she made during a series of residencies at the Meissen manufactory in 2012 and 2013. A version of that interactive play between historical design and contemporary ideas is presently showing at the Harvard Museum.
In 'Girl Group' Shechet displays six new large-scale commissions that harness the expressive power of geometry, line, color, and form in works displayed across Storm King’s hills, fields, and galleries. The title 'Girl Group' calls attention to the group of works performing together and also to female musicians breaking barriers, overcoming obstacles, and fighting for their rightful seat at the table.
