On-Site June 5–September 30, 2011 OSP Olympic Sculpture Park

On-Site, the second summer exhibition at the Olympic Sculpture Park, brings together new sculptures by Gretchen Bennett, Nicholas Nyland and Carolina Silva. Invited by Marisa C. Sánchez, SAM’s Assistant Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, these 3 artists have conceived of objects, often experimental in concept and execution, that respond to the context of the park environment. Their temporary interventions provide unexpected encounters with sculpture, in turn encouraging fresh perspectives on sculpture and its making. Working in response to the park environment, their diverse works cast a new lens on our experience with sculpture and with the landscape at the Olympic Sculpture Park.
