Senga Nengudi



                                                                  Inside/Outside, 1977


                                                                       R.S.V.P., 1975



Senga Nengudi's sculptures have explored the body and its boundaries since the 1960's. Using multiple materials; primarily nylon stockings, sand and a physical body, the sculptures blur the lines of a sculpture interacting with time and performance. R.S.V.P., 1975, is a part of the traveling exhibition, Blues for Smoke, recently at the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus. Her work is in permanent collection at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, PA. I highly suggest seeing her work in person!!!

    1. Either way, this work is brilliant.

  2. Does installation through the readymade alone suffice for craft in the contemporary? (Edit.)
