ABOUT SCULPTURE IN THE GARDEN

A hidden gem on the North Fork of Long Island, The Garden at Landcraft Garden Foundation offers four acres of botanical wonder surrounded by nearly ten acres of natural land, open to the public, Fridays and Saturdays between 10 am – 4 pm. The Foundation seeks to activate the artistic community of the North Fork with annual exhibitions that provide opportunities to view sculpture in dialogue with nature – cultivated and uncultivated. The inaugural Sculpture in the Garden series launched in summer 2021 with the work of artist Ned Smyth, curated by Rondinone.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Sarah Sze has developed a signature visual language that challenges the static nature of sculpture. Sze draws from Modernist traditions of the found object, dismantling their authority with dynamic constellations of materials that are charged with flux, transformation and fragility. Captured in this suspension, her immersive and intricate works question the value society places on objects and how objects ascribe meaning to the places and times we inhabit.

Ugo Rondinone is recognized as one of the major voices of his generation, an artist who composes searing meditations on nature and the human condition while establishing an organic formal vocabulary that fuses a variety of sculptural and painterly traditions. The breadth and generosity of his vision of human nature have resulted in a wide range of two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects, installations, videos, and performances. His hybridized forms, which borrow from ancient and modern cultural sources alike, exude pathos and humor, going straight to the heart of the most pressing issues of our time, where modernist achievement and archaic expression intersect.

Ugo Rondinone was born in 1964 in Brunnen, Switzerland. He studied at the Universität für Angewandte Kunst in Vienna before moving to New York in 1997, where he lives and works to this day. His work has been the subject of recent institutional exhibitions at Belvedere, Vienna (2021) Tamayo Museum, Mexico City, Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt, Petit Palais, Paris, Scuola Grande San Giovanni Evangelista di Venezia, Venice (2022), The Musée d’Art et d’Histoire, Geneva, Storm King, New York, The Städel Museum, Frankfurt (2023), Museum SAN, Wonju, Museum Würth 2 and Sculpture Garden, Künzelsau, The Kunstmuseum Lucerne, Switzerland, Aspen Art Museum, Colorado (2024), Arte Abierto, Mexico (2025), The Galleria d’Arte Moderna, Milan, (2025) and Pilane Heritage Museum, Sweden (2025).
