"Augustus Saint-Gaudens: Master of American Sculpture" is a new PBS feature documentary film by Paul G. Sanderson III on the life and work of the great American sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens (1848-1907). Trained in Paris and Rome, Saint-Gaudens is considered Americas premier sculptor of the 19th and early 20th centuries and created many of the public monuments honoring Civil War heroes in major cities throughout the United States. The story of his personal life is woven around in-depth studies of six of his major works of art including the intensely moving Shaw Memorial on Boston Common (which inspired the film Glory), which is featured in this excerpt. The film will be broadcast on National PBS at 10pm on December 27, 2009 with an advance showing on WNET/Thirteen (New York metropolitan area) at 1:45pm on September 13, 2009 part of their SundayArts series. The film is also available at PBS Home Video. The documentary is a production of Our Town Films, Inc. and the Saint-Gaudens Memorial with assistance from the Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site, the home, studios and gardens of the sculptor now a national park in New Hampshire.

smokingstrobes.com - Every one of us glamour photographers as favorite photographic styles which may require special lighting setups. One style that ole cousin Michael really loves is achieved by a lighting setup which I call the vertical lighting sandwich. You sandwich your model between two buns of light. Funny enough, most of the model remains in shade. If you wish to know how to shoot posh, artistic and sculptural photos using this technique, then check the video and have a look at the lighting diagram at http I wish you good light! -- Michael

This newly completed sculpture commission by Janet Echelman, changes shape in the wind. 160 feet tall, the sculpture spans 300 feet and suspends over a three-lane highway roundabout on the Atlantic coastline in Porto, Portugal. It is credited as the first permanent monumental sculpture to incorporate fluid movement and is called "one of the truly significant public artworks in recent years" by Sculpture Magazine. The sculpture integrates the history of Porto, where a fishing village became an industrial area with smokestacks and tanks. The red and white stripe pattern of the smoke stack referencing elements continues into the sculptural net shape. The shape of the net mirrors the landscape below. The solid, unmoving forms on the ground accentuate the movement and changing forms in the air. See more at: www.echelman.com

by KIA 2009, Mixed media on aluminum; dimensions variable. Website Link: web.mac.com DESCRIPTION: A 2D-3D-4D Painting/Sculpture/Installation A two-dimensional painting, hung three-dimensionally, to be reconfigured over time. The initial image is a lepidoptera wing containing a collage of hundreds of aircraft blueprints. The Initial sculptural configuration is a form suggestive of a cocoon, an airplane cockpit, an aircraft engine. The 27'x16' flat painting (on 288 aluminium panels) are hung three-dimensionally over, through, and around a metal infrastructure. (In this iteration, the sculpture is of 12' hx 5' widest diameter.) TITLE: Acceleration still; Cocooned escapes, you; my F1 Papillon The 2D elements are the work functioning as a flat painting; a butterfly wing (the beginning image of the work); the aircraft blueprints; the initial 12' x 6' line-drawing (in metal) of a jet fighter/butterfly wing that becomes the sculpture's infrastructure; the words found on the blueprint schematics; the thin aluminium panels on which the work is painted; the shadows thrown by the sculpture. The 3D elements are the cocoon/fuselage/engine sculputural arrangement (and future sculpture/installation reconfigurations); the XYZ axis arrangement (for structural support of the painting) of the component parts of the metal line-drawing. The 4D elements are the painting/sculpture as it's rearranged/deconstructed over time. Panels and sections can be regrouped, shifted, spun, etc; the work can <b>...</b>

Trace is a sculptural device that alludes to scientific discoveries and pseudoscientific concepts such as phrenology, physiognomy, and craniometry. A revolving plaster cast of the artist's head is slowly deconstructed into a mathematical diagram that changes as time passes. The peculiarities of the human face that as humans, we attach so much importance to, is dematerialised into a changing drawing that embodies the differential undulations of the human anatomy. Trace questions our notion of self and how through technology we have found different visual representations for the individual. DNA profiling, retina scans and the fingerprint are all things that are conjured up by the meticulous mechanical process of the work. The topographical images are turned into a new form of three-dimensional representation that draws our attention to the space within. More info:www.balintbolygo.com

Camille Rose Garcia talks about the sculptures in her exhibition Tragic Kingdom: the Art of Camille Rose Garcia. In association with Tragic Kingdom: The Art of Camille Rose Garcia, the San Jose Museum of Art is presenting a series of videos filmed on location at her home and studio in Southern California. The videos will include a personal tour of each series of artworks in the exhibition, as well as, video of Camille Rose Garcia painting, discussing the making of her book, and preparing for her exhibition. Additional videos will be released in the weeks following the opening of the exhibition. To keep up-to-date subscribe here or on our YouTube channel at: www.youtube.com/sanjosemuseumofart. The San Jose Museum of Art presents the first major museum exhibition outside of Los Angeles of Camille Rose Garcia, an artist emerging from the Los Angeles underground scene, whose narrative-based works express an acute political consciousness. The artist's seemingly light-hearted paintings and drawings of charming cartoon-like characters actually depict dark tales of violence, corruption and greed, and seek to comment on the turmoil of contemporary society. Her first museum solo exhibition surveys her work with an emphasis on her most recent creations, showcasing paintings, drawings, sketchbooks, prints, sculpture, and site-specific installations, and is complemented by a book-length catalogue.

The traditional book might be threatened by the advent of E-books but there are some uses for books that the digital equivalent can't compete with. Apart from reading them, a growing number of artists are turning books into artworks of a more sculptural nature. And they can be incredibly diverse.

James Kalm trolls his files to present this medley of some of New York's most unusual hidden and forbidden art works. Humor is a powerful tool for artists, and whether it's "Art Park", a scruffy square meter of grass, or Marcel Dzama's parody of Duchamp's "Etant donnés" one need only open their eyes to perceive this wonders. Other sites like the Zhang Huan exhibit (which disallows photography) or Jocelyn Shipley's "Secret Life of Sculpture" requires the courage to seek, find and photograph. Viewing Julian Schnabel's sculptural courtyard is more in the nature of a peek by a nosey neighbor.

Find out more at: southbankcentre.co.uk This summer, dramatic, immersive installations by internationally renowned artist Ernesto Neto transform the Hayward Gallery's upper galleries and its three outdoor sculpture courts. Best known for his sensuous sculptures, Neto creates site-specific installations with an abstract, biomorphic quality -- evocative of skin and interior body systems -- that investigate the way in which spatial alterations transform the relationships between people. In this, the artist's most ambitious exhibition to date, visitors experience a sequence of interlinked spaces that skillfully merge sculpture and architecture. Wander through fabric installations, relax in cushioned soft spaces, ascend stairs into artworks overhead and, following on from Neto's signature 'nave' works, venture barefoot through an all-encompassing nylon vessel. Exploring new directions in his practice, Neto also presents his first outdoor installations on the gallery's sculpture courts. Whether submerged in a sculptural pool or balancing on an undulating path, visitors find themselves becoming active participants in the artworks.

My interest in carving figures in marble was aroused on my first visit to Greece, admiring the ancient statues. To look at these sculptures in the bright splendor of the nearby Mediterranean Sea, left an indelible impression on me. I wanted to know how the Greek sculptor worked and how can we today, after 2500 years, find out? Ancient writers tell us nothing. What sculptors themselves, such as the great Polykleitos in the 5th century BC wrote, has unfortunately been lost. But the works themselves remain the chief source, above all those in which traces of the chisel are still visible and have not been eliminated during the process of smoothing the surface. I have adopted this method of stone carving from that of the early Greek sculptors. My predominant tool is the punch and mallet. In the later stages I use the claw chisel extensively. The flat chisel is only used for outlining sharp edges. I merely smooth over the fine point or claw chiseled surface with successively coarse, medium and fine grained river pebbles. There is a sense of well-being when I strike the stone with mallet and chisel, feeling the blood rushing into my arm. For that reason I do not make use of mechanical tools. I prefer to work with the female figure; the rhythm of the negative spaces is more flowing and less structured. From the initial outlining of the rough figure to the final stages of smoothing the stone, the sculpture is treated as a whole. I work by constantly moving around the stone. One <b>...</b>

A video of a large public artwork during installation on site.The video was filmed and edited by Bruno Edwards of Walsall council. John worked with the Brownhills Local Committee undertaken extensive consultation with the local populace on the artwork proposal. Once the design was finally resolved Walsall Strategic Borough partnership commissioned the colossal artwork. The colossal Miner sculpture can be found on a large traffic island at the entrance to Brownhills Town, in Walsall, West Midlands. The sculpture of a triumphant miner was made in John McKenna's A4A Art for Architecture studio workshop at Turnberry on the beautiful West Coast of Scotland. The miner is made totally from stainless steel and has a height of over 12 metres. This work weighed approx 5000kg and took nearly 12 months to complete. The studio assistants and a specialist structural welder worked closely with John McKenna on the initial heavier structural armature of the sculpture. - see other videos. When completed John then fabricated all sculptural facetted plates with his sculpture assistants. It was taken to its installation site on the back of two artic lorries. Two cranes were needed to install the artwork and the traffic island where the work was installed was cordoned off for the day that it took to install. Careful planning strategy and full consideration of all the logistics by John McKenna ensured the safe, straightforward installation of this colossus over the course of a day. John <b>...</b>

Cloud is a monumental kinetic installation hanging suspended in the Great Hall at the Ontario Science Centre. One hundred identical sculptural elements, arranged in ten by ten grid, are rotated at slightly differing speeds by computer-controlled motors. The elements slowly shift in and out of synchronization. When the motors are just out of sync, huge waves ripple across the space. When completely in sync, the work appears almost solid then suddenly almost invisible. When far out of sync, the sculptural elements float in apparent chaos. Cloud creates constantly shifting fields and patterns in the space of the Great Hall, playing with the tension between chaos and order, between scientific theory and human experience, and between objectivity and subjectivity. homepage.mac.com

Artist Janet Echelman transforms the terminal with fictional nature that subtly engages viewers with real and imagined natural forces. Her sculpture installation cuts three round skylights into the ceiling, from which descend delicate layers of translucent colored netting to create three voluptuous volumetric forms. A series of shaded outlines below are embedded into the terrazzo floor, reflecting the precise shadows that would occur on the summer solstice if the sun could penetrate through the roof. During the day, sun streams through the skylights to cast real shadows that interplay with the fictional shadows in the floor. At night, the artist's program of colored lighting makes the sculpture glow from indigo to purple, magenta to red-orange. Computer-programmed mechanized air-flow animates the fluidly-moving sculpture at different intervals throughout the day, as if the wind could magically flow through solid walls. The artist achieved the sculpture's physical presence by braiding fibers and knotting twine into sculptural netting suspended from powder-coated steel armatures. Despite their large scale, more than 120 feet in circumference for a single form, her sculpture is experienced as ephemeral and weightless. Visually, the sculpture evokes the contours and colors of cloud formations over the Bay and hints at the silhouette of the Golden Gate Bridge. Aesthetically, the sculpture looks both backwards and forwards, drawing its color from the heyday of psychedelic music <b>...</b>
