Message from the Director of Exhibitions |
Adelphi University's seventh Outdoor Sculpture Biennial features six
newcomers and four veterans of biennials past. This selection presents the
great talents of Miggy Buck, John Clement, Maria Hall, Ed Haugevik, William
King, Anti Liu, Johnny Poux, Kim Radochia, Christopher Saucedo, and Hans
Van de Bovenkamp. Their three- dimensional constructions have created a
very unique installation from John Clement's "Duke" weighing over 3000 lbs.
to Johnny Poux's slender mast "Seed" towering at 35 feet. Each artist
brings their own diverse languages to the viewer.
I would like to recognize all that have helped create this memorable
exhibition, my team Richard Vaux, Exhibitions Assistant; Katarzyna Bator,
Erica Corso, and Alexandra Hiner-Diana student Exhibitions Assistants; and
Anti Liu, Director of Ceramics and Fine Arts Professional Technician. They
were all instrumental in every aspect of this Biennial. I am grateful to
the University Facilities Staff: Directors James Kosloski, Robert Conaghan,
Robert Shipley, and Gerard Tangredi; fabrication specialists Bruce Brine,
Brian Mearini, and Fred Rose; and landscape installation engineers Jimmy
Campbell, Raymond Rogers, Frank Simeone, and Ronald Soto. To the entire
Office of Public Safety: Eugene Palma, Assistant Vice President for Public
Safety and all the Public Safety sergeants and officers I thank you all for
your tireless efforts. A special thank you to Vinnie Montepaone and the
crew of VDM Mason Corp. for creating concrete bases that perfectly
complement the sculptures. To all, I extend my heartfelt thanks and
appreciation for their tireless assistance and expertise in making this
installation possible.
We hope the creative work of the ten sculptors and their contribution to contemporary sculpture is enjoyed and admired by every visitor to our
campus over the next two years.
