October 18, 2013 – December 29, 2013 | MAEP Galleries | Free Exhibition midday: Sarah Burns The sculptures in Sarah Burns’s exhibition midday reinforce her interest in prefabricated materials, such as drywall, lumber, carpet, plaster, and tiles, from which she makes expertly refined abstract shapes and sculptural forms. Her diverse practice begins with an openness to materials, yet there is also an architectural discipline and earnestness to Burns’s work; as Steen Eiler Rasmussen said, “No other art employs a colder, more abstract form, but at the same time no other art is more intimately connected with man’s daily life from the cradle to the grave.” Her sculptures and room-sized installations create experiences that oscillate between intimately constructed details and how those forms evoke domestic environments that recur in memories of personal spaces.

July 16, 2010 – September 26, 2010 | | FREE Kuon (Eternal Flow of Time): Mayumi Amada Through her multimedia installations and sculpture, Amada creates elaborate cut-outs representing the patterns of life and the repeated forms that are shared across generations.

The production of time-saving devices surged from the 1920s to the 1940s, and it was no coincidence that the industrial design profession developed alongside it
