Opening Fri 3/11 @ 5:30PM
It’s (almost) spring. Think new. The Sculpture Center presents two new exhibits for spring — Qian Li: No Matter How Hard I Yell and Daniel McDonald: Reluctant Redemption.
Qian Li’s mixed media installations “incorporate memories, dreams and visualizations of her troubled childhood and traditional Chinese background. She constructs a world of desperation, mental and physical pain, anxiety, and restlessness.” Composers of FiveOne, Cleveland’s new music ensemble, are writing original music for solo instruments for each of Li’s pieces.
Daniel McDonald’s sculptures detail his internal dilemmas of growing up Mormon. “Never quite comfortable in the socio-cultural environment of his Mormon childhood, McDonald’s works are partially cathartic but he also seeks to relate to the viewer by addressing broader social concerns such as stereotyping, manipulation and self-evaluation.”
Check ’em out through Sat 4/16.
