Sharon Lockhart's First Sculptures at MATA Modena
Sharon Lockhart (born 1964, Massachusetts) presents her first sculptures at MATA in Modena, created for the exhibition 'Movimenti e Variazioni'. The show pairs her signature photography with new sculptural works: plaster casts of manzanita branches collected from the Sierra Nevada mountains, arranged according to Ikebana principles. Photographs feature Sichong Xie performing choreography inspired by the sculpture arrangement. The exhibition also includes 1960s protest photographs juxtaposed with Lockhart's series 'Dirty Don’s Delicious Dogs', 'Moody Mart', and 'Handley Snack Shop', which explore self-managed commerce.
