Performance In Sculpture:
|
Eleven pieces will be displayed in the Ruth Silbiger lobby of Carol Morsani Hall at TBPAC beginning in October. The exhibit is open during shows in Carol Morsani Hall and during regularly scheduled tours. Special tours also may be available. "This is an opportunity for us to add even more drama to our environment," said Judy Lisi, president and CEO of TBPAC. "We're enhancing our patrons' experience even before they see the show they're attending. This is a natural follow-up to our previous exhibitions of amazing artwork from the Ann and Jay Ross collection. "We are tremendously excited by this new partnership with NSS. We were totally overwhelmed by the quantity and scope of the entries, and we struggled to pick just 11." As as added bonus for TBPAC patrons, the pieces are available for acquisition. Lisi said she hopes this will be the beginning of an annual exhibition displayed at TBPAC. Those working on this project include TBPAC Visual Arts Committee members Mike Urette, Ann McKeel Ross, architect James Jennewein (a Second Vice President of NSS) and TBPAC staff members Lisi, Lorrin Shepard, Michael Kilgore and Dominick Furlano. Sculptor Neil Estern, FNSS, and Robin Salmon, Vice President for Collections and Curator of Sculpture at Brookgreen Gardens in South Carolina, joined in the selection process. This project is funded in part by the National Sculpture Society and Sabal Trust Company. All dimensions given are: h" x w" x d" For more information about acquiring one of the pieces in this exhibition, please contact Dominick Furlano at 813.222.1043.

Leading U.S. sculptors and architects founded the NSS in the 19th century to "spread the knowledge of good sculpture." Today, NSS continues to encourage excellence in sculpture throughout the United States. The Society runs many programs dedicated to encouraging good sculpture, and to educating young artists in this medium. Scholarships, competitions and opportunities to exhibit works in New York and elsewhere are a few of the ways the Society reaches out to the next generation of sculptors.
