Joel ShapiroJoel Shapiro has produced a body of work ranging in material, scale, and form that embraces an investigation of process and a vocabulary of rectilinear shapes. Emerging from the Postminimalist generation of the 1970s, his practice developed during a time of institutional critique, deconstruction, and urban intervention. Subverting a distinction between abstraction and representation, Shapiro reconsiders the modern figurative tradition, creating abstract geometric sculpture. He elicits a sense of movement in his works, which, through the arrangement of simplified elements, are powerfully suggestive of active human forms that appear to reach, balance, and dance, engaging viewers’ physical and psychological relationships with space.Learn More Past Joel Shapiro Out of the Blue Sep 13 – Oct 26, 2024 New York Journal View All Films Joel Shapiro on His Hong Kong Exhibition Jul 11, 2023 Museum Exhibitions "Joel Shapiro: The Bronzes" at Madison MoCA Sep 11, 2018 Museum Exhibitions "Joel Shapiro: Floor Wall Ceiling" at Kunstmuseum Winterthur Jan 10, 2017 Museum Exhibitions Nasher Sculpture Center Presents "Joel Shapiro" May 01, 2016 Pace Live — In Conversation: Joel Shapiro and Phong H.
