dear team sculpture,

GO TO THE CAMDEN ARTS CENTRE to see Eva Hesse and Katja Strunz
(and if you have already, go again!)



How perfect, you can see evidence of Eva's study of the material language as all of the pieces on display are "test-pieces" and are mostly small and experimental.

From the inside of the leaflet: "The joy and freedom of Hesse's art is staggering. Any young artist could get an education just by coming to this show a few times." Jonathan Jones, The Guardian

...and don't miss the video playing in the reading room! It's an excerpt from a documentary made in '87 about the span of her work.

AND, an exciting display of Katja Struntz's Sound of the Pregeometric Age. It's comprised of tons and tons of found objects, mostly brass, mostly musical instruments on stands with different sounds being played softly from each, an attempt to "test the limits of space."




there you have it!
