Phyllida Barlow at the New Museum

Phyllida Barlow at the New Museum New York

British sculptor Phylida Barlow created a new, site-specific installation for her first New York solo exhibition "Phyllida Barlow: siege" at the New Museum. Don't forget to pay a visit if you are in the area.

In her installations, Barlow scales her work to fully inhabit and transform a given architectural space. Ranging from intimately scaled objects occupying corners and corridors, to works that take on an imposing and overwhelming scale, her installations challenge and parody the heroic monumentalism of her predecessors. Barlow reveals that sculpture can accurately capture the joyfulness, absurdity, and transience of life.

On view from May 2 – June 24, 2012 (curated by Gary Carrion-Murayari).
