Join us this Saturday, May 2, from 6–8pm to celebrate the opening of three solo exhibitions:
Magali Reus: Spring for a Ground
Magali Reus (born 1981 in The Hague, The Netherlands, based in London, UK) will present a new body of work co-commissioned by SculptureCenter, the Hepworth Wakefield in Yorkshire, UK, Westfälischer Kunstverein in Münster, Germany, and the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo in Turin, Italy. Colliding the macro logic of daily architecture with the more microscopic or metaphorical projections of a body inhabiting space, Reus’ exhibition focuses on the physical and psychic space of the street curb.
Michael E. Smith: –
Michael E. Smith (born 1977 in Detroit, based in Hopkinton, NH) will present new works created specifically for SculptureCenter’s lower level galleries. These new sculptures and videos further Smith’s investigation into the complex existence of things.

Working between synthetic and organic materials, Erika Verzutti (born 1971 in São Paulo, Brazil, based in São Paulo) creates hybrid objects and situations that interrogate relationships between forms and bodies. Swan with Stage is primarily composed of new works, including a twelve-foot-tall abstract swan sculpture and a related photographic series.
