Tom Sachs - Shenkman Lecture in Contemporary Art 2018

Bricolage and Ritual In The Sculpture by Tom Sachs Wednesday, March 28, 2018, 6:00pm War Memorial Hall, University of Guelph Guelph, Ontario TOM SACHS (b. 1966, New York) is a New York-based sculptor known for work inspired by icons of modernism and design. Using modest studio materials, he creates parallel universes incorporating semi-functional sculpture, sometimes deployed by the artist and his studio assistants for interactive projects, as in Nutsy’s (2001-3) and Space Program (2007, 2012, 2016-17). Sachs has been described as “the Lenny Bruce of contemporary American art: uncompromisingly, wickedly funny, and whiplash smart”. His wit runneth over in all directions and in all mediums. His work is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art; the Metropolitan Museum of Art; the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, all in New York; the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the Centre George Pompidou, Paris; and the Astrup Fearnley Museet for Moderne Kunst, Oslo among others. He has had recent solo exhibitions at the Nasher Sculpture Center, Dallas (2017-18), Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco (2016-17), Noguchi Museum, New York (2016), the Brooklyn Museum, New York (2016), and the Contemporary Austin, Texas (2015). His film, A Space Program, released by Zeitgeist in 2016, offers viewers a glimpse into the artist’s studio practice, philosophy, and the narrative surrounding his 2012 project with Creative Time at the Park Avenue Armory.
