Art Sculpture Part One

  • Fantastic_loathe_4_large

Sculpture is LA's latest claim to art-world fame, and the medium's reemergence is due partly to the city's new generation of sculptors. Western Projects' two-part exhibition spotlights some of LA's foremost three-dimensional practitioners, including Jason Adkins, Tanya Batura, Heimir Björgúlfsson, and Michael Dee. These artists borrow the assemblage techniques of their modernist forefathers, integrating a diverse array of found objects into their work. Björgúlfsson, for instance, uses pigeon skeletons, replicas of toucan skulls, and stuffed quail to build his fantastical pieces, giving new meaning to that old chestnut, "one person's discarded bird carcass is another person's art."
