| World Renowned Sculptor Opens Stieren Series With A Look At Her Life's Work |
|
Educated at Douglas College of Rutgers University and at Hunter College in New York City, Ms. Aycock had her first solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in 1977, a show that featured her landmark wood construction, Studies for a Town. Early in her career, she participated three times in the Venice (Italy) Biennial and twice in the Whitney Biennial in New York. Retrospective exhibitions of Ms. Aycock's work were held in 1983 and 1990. In addition to her gallery and museum works, Ms. Aycock has continuously produced outdoor sculptures and installations, some of which are permanently sited in public and private spaces, including Tower of Babel (1986) at the Bushnami Sculpture Garden near Houston. Many of Ms. Aycock's works blur the boundaries between sculpture and architecture, and some of her notable recent works have involved close collaboration with architects, as with her Cyclone Fragment in James Freed's San Francisco Public Library (1996). The Stieren Arts Enrichment Series hosts an array of leaders in the areas of art, music, drama, literature, communication, art history, and aesthetics. The series is made possible through an endowment created by Jane and Arthur Stieren of San Antonio. For more information, contact the Trinity University Art Department at (210) 999-7216. |
