"It’s like people seeing Orion in a constellation of stars. What happens is that they see a forest devil—though I’m not sure what that would be. But because of the name it becomes a creature."
—Kenneth Snelson
Thursday, April 10, 6:30–7:30 p.m.
Carnegie Museum of Art Theater
Free
Join us for this exclusive event with Kenneth Snelson, a New York City-based contemporary sculptor and photographer. Learn about Forest Devil (1977), a sculpture recently relocated to the museum’s grounds from Mellon Square Park, and the principle of “tensegrity”—the joining of geometry and engineering—which makes Snelson’s sculptures “constellations of form.”
The Kenneth Snelson artist talk is generously supported by Alice R. Snyder.
