Steven Siegel
Monday, March 16
MCAD Auditorium 150
1:00pm

Connecting art making and environmental processes, Steven Siegel builds impressive trash sculptures that reflect the essential cycles of deposit and decay that underlie the making of the land. Large boulders of compressed cans, plastic bottles, and multilayered newspaper ridges call attention to the waste of consumer society, yet stand on their own as sculptural forms in the landscape. These forms reflect the ecological mysteries he perceives: What's behind these natural processes of accumulation and decay, tension and compression? What do they mean in and of themselves? And what do they mean for people, how we live?
