Mel Kendrick "sub stratum" at DAVID NOLAN NEW YORK



Veröffentlicht am 23.10.2015
James Kalm considers himself a long time fan of the work of Mel Kendrick. It's not only the sculptor's solid craftsmanship and commitment to tradition, but his much more intriguing and risky conceptual approach to the long legacy of the medium that attracts your correspondent. One aspect of this cagy approach is discussed in the gallery press release "An abiding theme over the years has been the role of a sculpture’s base as not only a practical support or display feature but also as a crucial generative component within the work itself." These pieces invite the viewer to participate in the process of their fabrication, to mentally transpose the positive and negative volumes, and to ponder the means by which these structures came into being. Alan Craft was recorded on Broadway at Twelfth Street, and provides a musical introduction. This program was recorded October 22, 2015, in Chelsea, Manhattan.
