Opening Soon: New Sculpture/New Jersey

On view September 20, 2024 through February 2, 2025

Continuing its commitment to celebrating artists from across the Garden State, the Morris Museum will present a fresh look at contemporary sculpture. New Sculpture/New Jersey exhibits the work of eleven sculptors working in a wide range of materials; malleable aluminum, cold-worked glass, and industrial robotics join the more traditional media of ceramics, forged iron, and steel. Showcasing just over 40 works together with short video interviews with the artists, the exhibition will connect visitors with the purpose, context, and meaning driving their work and motivating their choices.
