ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
Dupont's new installation "Between Stations" at HVCCA will consist
of two new large scale figurative sculptures situated contextually within
the space of the museum, and intended to engage the viewer in a “conversation” that
is both spatial and philosophical. Originating from a laser scan of Dupont’s
own body, these sculptural doppelgangers are adulterated versions of his original
form, and have been distorted using digital technology before being cast in
resin and hand finished. Standing just over life size and occupying ambulatory
space, these static “performers” reveal themselves differently
from various vantage points, alternatively massive and dematerializing, engaging
the movement of the viewer. Raising philosophical questions about the humanist
tradition in the age of body mapping and surveillance, the works are also
self reflexive meditations on sculptural forms from the ancient past to the
distant future. ABOUT THE ARTIST
Richard Dupont is a sculptor and installation artist whose works have been acquired by numerous public and private collections including the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art and the New York Public Library. He recently presented a major public art project at Lever House in New York City. The installation at Lever House and the artist’s work of the past five years are the subjects of a new monograph published by Charta and to be released this Fall. In addition, Dupont will be exhibiting a new installation at Carolina Nitsch Project Room in November. Born, lives and works in New York City. Dupont studied at Princeton University (1987 – 1991).
On view through January 18, 2009.
