Jeffrey Gibson’s Sculptures Exhibited at the Met and Featured in the New York Times
Artist in Residence Jeffrey Gibson.
Bard Artist in Residence Jeffrey Gibson’s exhibition of animal sculptures on the facade of the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art was featured as a Critic’s Pick in the New York Times. The Met’s Facade Commission invites contemporary artists to display their work outside the museum, and Gibson’s four sculptures are its newest addition. His sculptures, which are all of animals that lived inside Central Park, were made from driftwood found in the Hudson Valley, which Gibson carved, scanned, and cast in bronze before coloring.
Gibson recently represented the US at the Venice Biennale and has taught at Bard since 2012. The Times calls his facade exhibit the latest in a “stellar group of artists” and the one that “best understands the assignment of public sculpture [to] engage as wide an audience as possible, without offending, and still register as trenchant artwork.”
