Presented on January 31, 2019

Sterling Ruby talks with chief curator Jed Morse about his exhibition at the Nasher Sculpture Center and the materials, processes and inspirations for his works, exploring topics like the frozen gesture, human storytelling through art, and the American prison system. The show highlights thirteen year’s-worth of Ruby’s sculptures across media like ceramics, urethane, and soft sculpture.
