Message from the Director of Exhibitions |
Welcome to Adelphi University's sixth Outdoor Sculpture Biennial. This exhibition
features work by ten talented, skilled and accomplished sculptors from the
United States and Sweden: Richard Brachman (NY), Miggy Buck (NY), John Cino
(NY), Maria Hall (NY), Jerelyn Hanrahan (NY), David Jacobs (NY), Peter Lipman-Wulf (NY), Kim Radochia (MA), Jeff Shapiro (NY) and Pål Svensson (Sweden). The sculptures encompass a variety of approaches and techniques; from carved wood, cast bronze and concrete to stoneware and welded steel. The Biennial artists also deal with diverse subjects from primary structures and environmental concerns to historical references and mystical poetic concepts.
I would like to extend my warm gratitude and recognize the contribution of all that helped create this memorable exhibition. Richard Vaux, Exhibitions Assistant; Lozana Mehandzhiyska, Exhibitions Assistant; and Anti Liu, Fine Arts Professional Technician were all instrumental in every aspect of this Biennial. The University Facilities Staff: Directors Jim Kosloski, Bob Shipley and Bob Conaghan; fabrication specialists Sammy Suarez, Henry Acosta, Paul Campbell, Stanley Gajewski, Matthew Chmielowiec; and landscape installation engineers Jimmy Campbell, Ron Soto, Bruce Brine and Frank Simeone, thanks to each one of you. A special thank you to Vinny Montepaone of VDM Mason Corporation. Catalog layout and design is made possible by Ana Golici and Lozana Mehandzhiyska. To all, I give you my heartfelt thanks and appreciation. Your tireless assistance and your expertise made this installation possible.
We all value the creative work of the ten sculptors and their contribution
to contemporary sculpture. I hope this Biennial is enjoyed by the Adelphi
community and every visitor to our campus over the next two years.
