Sprinkler Factory Sculpture Garden

This winter there is an exhibit at the Sprinkler Factory in Worcester, where they have turned their large gallery space into an "Indoor Sculpture Garden" featuring sculptures and large-scale paintings.

Those of you in the Contemporary Art class (and those of you in Art Appreciation who have skipped ahead to the chapters on contemporary art) may find this interesting. As I looked at the works in the gallery, there were a number of them where I could see which artists may have influenced them - Keith Haring, Nam June Paik, Robert Rauschenerg, among others.

If you have a chance, the exhibit is on through February 25. http://www.sprinklerfactory.com/ for more information.

    looking at the first photo a little closer, after I read your comment, I decided it was reminiscent of the reading we have been doing pertaining to the feminist movement. From the angle of the shot, I see a pyramid (or triangle) being reached for by a plethora of hands in the lower part of the frame. Also, the fact that the pyramid encompasses the upper body of a human with a (globe? disco ball?) above its head, read to me like some kind of knowledge or enlightenment is taking place within the feminine form of the triangle. ..... This is just my humble viewpoint though (:
