As part of the debut of her new sculpture Big Sister (2025), Arlene Shechet will be joined in conversation by artist David Salle and Stephanie Barron, Senior Curator and Department Head of Modern Art at LACMA, on Saturday, February 28 at Pace Los Angeles.

Big Sister, which will be on view in the gallery’s courtyard from February 11 to June 6, is the first outdoor sculpture Shechet is exhibiting since her critically acclaimed 2024 presentation Girl Group at Storm King Art Center in New York.

This event—presented by Pace Live and LACMA’s Modern and Contemporary Art Council—will run from 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m., with doors opening at 10 a.m.

Arlene Shechet

Arlene Shechet is a sculptor known for her effortless combination of disparate elements, precarious and provisional arrangements, and boundary-collapsing visual paradoxes. With gravity-defying work that seems to tilt, contort, bend, and melt, Shechet’s sculptures appear to be set in motion while unearthing the expressive potential of material and forms and forcing us to sit with—and move around—its contradictions.
