Hyperallergic“Several generations of Bard sculpture professors and students appear in this show,” says Gallery Director Jordan Eddy. “It’s a constellation of objects interlinked by bright lines of inspiration.” The exhibition’s roots extend to the early days of Bard’s MFA sculpture program, which was established in 1981 as part of Bard’s Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York. At the center of this artistic legacy is Nancy Shaver, who has taught in Bard’s MFA sculpture program for over 20 years and contributes two sculptures to the exhibition.
