The Eccentrics, an international group show and performance program featuring Sanya Kantarovsky, Adriana Lara, Ieva Misevi?i?t?, Eduardo Navarro, Jeanine Oleson, Georgia Sagri, Zhou Tao, and Tori Wrånes. Evoking the figure of the "eccentric," a term for Russian circus performers, Walter Benjamin alludes to clowns, magicians, and acrobats as the forerunners to the comic actors who later inhabited the newly created space of film. Intertwining magic, science, belief, and politics, the term operates as an abstract framework for the exhibition.
For Rochelle Goldberg: The Plastic Thirsty, the New York-based artist is hand rendering human-scaled sculptures in ceramic and steel that are evocative of hybrid fish forms and other motifs, enacting a psychological narrative around our post-industrial age in her first solo institutional exhibition.
For Now Showing, a program that highlights a single artwork or project in areas throughout SculptureCenter's building, Jessi Reaves will present a chair and ottoman set, an artwork as well as a comfortable seat. New Publication

Liz Glynn: RANSOM ROOM (June 2-July 8, 2014) was a continually evolving installation exploring the ramifications of cultural destruction. Glynn's work has frequently referenced historic objects and artifacts to trace shifts in political, cultural, and economic value over time. In this project for SculptureCenter, the artist's first solo project in a New York museum, Glynn focused on a moment of total loss-the melting down of a large cache of precious metal artifacts during the Spanish conquest of the Incan empire.
