Multi-disciplinary artist Ahmed El Shaer creates work in
diverse mediums, including installation, photography,
sound, and video, with an emphasis on digital technolo-gies.
Crossover (The Scene) is inspired by the lives of
migrants in a refugee camp in Calais, France. It presents
a hybrid virtual and physical world, where it seems
possible to transcend limits of time and space. To create
this fantastical landscape, El Shaer combined
live-action footage, still images, and machinima,
resulting in a stirring meditation on cultural dislocation,
longing, and loss.
The evening will begin with a live auction of works by
leading contemporary artists led by auctioneer Sara
Friedlander of Christie's of works by Ann Craven, Sanya
Kantarovsky, Oliver Osborne, and Josh Smith. The order
of artwork selection for the Draw is determined by a
random draw of names called by Lowell Pettit, Master
of Ceremonies.
Each ticket allows admission for one person. Please
note that all attendees must be in possession of a
ticket. Proxies are welcomed for those who cannot
attend the event in person. For more information,
please contact Sophie Kaufman at
skaufman@sculpture-center.org or call 718.361.1750.
Artist and activist Nancy Spero (American, 1926–2009) produced a
radical body of work that confronted oppression and inequality while
challenging the aesthetic orthodoxies of contemporary art. Among the
rst feminist artists, Spero drew on archetypal representations of
women across various cultures and times in an attempt to reframe
history itself from a perspective that she termed “woman as protago-nist.”
Organized by artist and curator Julie Ault, Paper Mirror traces the
full arc of Spero’s artistic evolution, bringing together more than 100
works made over six decades in the rst major museum exhibition in
the US since the artist’s death in 2009.
