Description
Cambridge Arts Council is pleased to announce the opening of their new exhibit Refining Landscapes, by Vivian Beer. The Artist Reception and exhibition are free and open to the public. The exhibit is on view until February 29, 2016.
Vivian Beer is sculptor, furniture maker, and photographer. In 2012 she was commissioned by the City of Cambridge to create a public artwork for Nunes Park in Cambridgeport. Entitled Thunderhead, it is a bench that becomes not-a-bench, bending itself into curves and loops that defy sitting.
Refining Landscapes lets the viewer in on the artist’s processes that the public rarely gets to glimpse, through drawings, photographs, videos, jigs, and models, alongside finished pieces. Vivian’s materials include steel, concrete, automotive paint systems, and bronze. Her practice reveals and synthesizes her interest in the forces of nature and industrial forms, a sophisticated knowledge of engineering and fabrication, and an exquisite sense of design.
