A Retrospective: Sculpture From the Virtual World Golden Dawn and 3D Gallery 201 Galisteo goldendawngallery.com June 16–July 14 Reception June 16, 5–7:30 pm
In this retrospective show, Tony Buchen and Jazzmean Goodwin present 20 years of sculpture created between 1997 and 2017. While working as artists-in-residence at Sloss Furnaces in Birmingham, Alabama, in the 1990s, metal sculptors Goodwin and Buchen became interested in what computers had to offer them. Sloss, a former blast furnace turned historic site with strong digital capability, inspired the duo to begin creating virtual sculptures, which consisted only of pixels that formed photos and videos. In the early 2000s, while living in Corsica, Buchen and Goodwin had an opportunity to work with 3D printing in its earliest forms. This technology eventually led them back to producing physical objects, working with the state-of-the-art 3D printer at Golden Dawn and 3D Gallery. The retrospective includes artwork from all stages of their collaboration, including their first 3D print, Capo di Muro, and first video, Capo di Muro: A Virtual Sculpture—and hints at upcoming possibilities.—Lisa Van Sickle june/july 2017
