Work-in-progress: Jeff Williams
Artpace just got a little heavier. Earlier today, International Artist-in-Residence Jeff Williams (Austin, Texas) filled four 10-foot-long forms with a lightweight concrete using pumice as an aggregate. Each bar of dried concrete weighs approximately 500 pounds, and will be incorporated into a sculpture inspired in part by a visit to the Ferguson Structural Engineering Laboratory at the University of Texas at Austin.
Williams’s IAIR 11.3 exhibition opens Thursday, November 17, in conjunction with new works by Frank Benson and Graham Fagen.
