Organizations Filed Purposes: SCULPTURECENTER COMMISSIONS AND PRESENTS EXHIBITIONS OF CONTEMPORARY SCULPTURE.

AS A NON-COLLECTING MUSEUM, SCULPTURECENTER'S ANNUAL EXHIBITION PROGRAM INCLUDES 1-2 COMMISSIONED WORKS BY MID-CAREER ARTISTS, OUR ANNUAL IN PRACTICE OPEN CALL PROGRAM FEATURING NEW COMMISSIONS BY 10-15 EMERGING ARTISTS, AND 3-6 SOLO AND GROUP EXHIBITIONS. TO FACILITATE DEEP PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT AND ENCOURAGE DIALOGUE BETWEEN VISITORS OF ALL AGES, ARTISTS, AND THEIR WORK, SCULPTURECENTER HOSTS FREE EVENTS AND PROGRAMS THAT COMPLEMENT OUR EXHIBITIONS, INCLUDING LECTURES, PANEL DISCUSSIONS WITH LEADERS IN THE FIELD OF CONTEMPORARY ART AND OTHER RELATED FIELDS, READINGS, WORKSHOPS, VIDEO SCREENINGS, AND PERFORMANCES. IN FISCAL YEAR 2020, SCULPTURECENTER PRESENTED 4 CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED EXHIBITIONS, SHOWCASING 31 ARTISTS. EXHIBITIONS INCLUDED: SEARCHING THE SKY FOR RAIN, A LARGE-SCALE GROUP EXHIBITION INCLUDING NEWLY COMMISSIONED AND RECENT WORK BY 16 EMERGING AND ESTABLISHED ARTISTS, WHICH CONSIDERED THE POLITICS OF IDENTITY, VISIBILITY, AND INVISIBILITY; ECOLE DU SOIR (THE EVENING ACADEMY), AN EXHIBITION AND RESEARCH GROUP CONVENED BY ARTIST CHRISTIAN NYAMPETA IN SCULPTURECENTER'S COURTYARD AND LOBBY THAT STUDIED THE WORK OF RWANDAN PHILOSOPHER ISAE NZEYIMANA, WHO VISITED IN OCTOBER 2019; RAFAEL DOMENECH: MODEL TO EXHAUST THIS PLACE (SCULPTURECENTER PAVILION), A MAJOR ARCHITECTURAL INSTALLATION ON SCULPTURECENTER'S GROUND FLOOR AND THE ARTIST'S FIRST INSTITUTIONAL SOLO EXHIBITION IN NEW YORK; AND IN PRACTICE: TOTAL DISBELIEF, FEATURING NEW COMMISSIONS BY 13 EMERGING ARTISTS AND ARTIST TEAMS AS PART OF OUR ANNUAL OPEN CALL PROGRAM, FOR WHICH WE RECEIVE OVER 1,000 PROPOSALS. IN ADDITION, SCULPTURECENTER TOURED TISHAN HSU: LIQUID CIRCUIT, OUR GROUNDBREAKING FIRST MUSEUM RETROSPECTIVE OF THE ARTIST'S WORK FROM THE 1980S THROUGH THE EARLY 2000S, TO THE HAMMER MUSEUM IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA. SCULPTURECENTER'S DIVERSE PROGRAMMING EXPANDS UPON OUR MISSION AND ENRICHES THE DISCOURSE BETWEEN OUR ARTISTS AND AUDIENCES. SCULPTURECENTER CONTINUED ITS PUBLICATIONS PROGRAM WITH 4 EXHIBITION CATALOGS, AS WELL AS 9 FREE, IN-PERSON PUBLIC PROGRAMS (INCLUDING SCHOLARLY PRESENTATIONS, PANEL DISCUSSIONS, SCREENINGS, CONCERTS, AND ARTMAKING WORKSHOPS) BEFORE OUR MANDATORY CLOSURE IN MARCH 2020 DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. THROUGH SPRING AND SUMMER 2020 WE HOSTED 2 ONLINE PROGRAMS AND REGULARLY PUBLISHED WRITING AND MATERIALS RELATED TO OUR EXHIBITIONS IN OUR NEWSLETTER AND ON OUR WEBSITE. IN ADDITION TO GIVING FURTHER VOICE TO EXHIBITING ARTISTS AND SCULPTURECENTER'S CURATORIAL DEPARTMENT, THESE PROGRAMS ENGAGED A DOZEN OTHER ARTISTS, WRITERS, AND SCHOLARS, AND INCLUDED PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE CARPENTER CENTER FOR THE VISUAL ARTS AT HARVARD UNIVERSITY, NEW YORK NON-PROFIT E-FLUX, AND OTHERS. TISHAN HSU: LIQUID CIRCUIT AND JESSE WINE: IMPERFECT LIST, A SOLO SHOW OF NEW WORKS BY THE NEW YORK-BASED BRITISH SCULPTOR, WERE DUE TO OPEN AT SCULPTURECENTER IN MAY 2020. BOTH WERE DELAYED DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND OPENED IN SEPTEMBER 2020.
