Legendary sculptor Martin Puryear joins us in New Social Environment #88 with host, Rail Editor-at-Large Jason Rosenfeld (@jmrnyc1). Puryear gives us a generous discussion of his recent works, both gallery and public art projects, and speaks deeply about his rigorous treatment of material, form, process, and history. Poet Kwame Opoku-Duku (@kwamethethird)⁠ closes the conversation with a reading. Learn more about this event on our website: https://brooklynrail.org/events/2020/... Over the last five decades Martin Puryear has created a body of work based on abstract organic forms rich with psychological, cultural, and historical references. His labor-intensive sculptures are made by hand at his studio in upstate New York. They combine practices adapted from many different traditions, including wood carving, joinery, and boat building, as well as more recent technology. As a student, Puryear studied ornithology, falconry, and archery, and in the 1960s he volunteered with the Peace Corps in west Africa, where he educated himself in the region’s indigenous crafts. Since then he has continued to travel extensively, observing a range of cultures and their unique approaches to object making. Jason Rosenfeld, Ph.D., is a Distinguished Chair and Professor of Art History at Marymount Manhattan College. He was co-curator of the exhibitions John Everett Millais (Tate Britain, Van Gogh Museum), Pre-Raphaelites: Victorian Avant-Garde (Tate Britain and the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.), and River Crossings (Olana and Cedar Grove, Hudson and Catskill, New York). He is a Senior Writer and Editor-at-Large for the Brooklyn Rail. Kwame Opoku-Duku’s work is featured in Virginia Quarterly Review, Kenyon Review, BOMB, Apogee, The Literary Review, and other publications. He is an educator, a founding member of Unbnd Collective, associate poetry editor for BOAAT, and curator of the reading series Dear Ocean.
