Speaker: Tom Otterness
Tom Otterness is one of America's most prominent public artists. His sculptures adorn parks and other public places in New York—most notably Battery Park City and the 14th Street/8th Avenue subway station—and other cities around the world. He is also represented in many major public and private collections. He is a graduate of the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program and was a member of Collaborative Projects, Inc. (Colab). How creative producers can help foster conversation about important issues of common concern is an important element in his work. His style is cartoonish and cheerful on the surface yet marked by complexity and ambivalence upon further contemplation. His exhibition last year of public sculpture in Grand Rapids was his largest to date, with more than 40 works across two miles of the city's downtown area and at Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park. His solo exhibition this fall inaugurates Marlborough Gallery's new space in Manhattan's Chelsea district.
