About the Item

Kevin Box is an internationally-renowned sculptor working in cast bronze, steel, and other metals. His work pushes the boundaries of the casting process and celebrates of the delicacy of paper and the permanence of metal. Box's sculpture is whimsical and elegant, as he invites you to touch and experience the meaning of the work for yourself in a tactile way. As a child, Kevin Box developed a passion for creativity and the graphic arts during summers at his uncle’s design firm. Later, as a college student of graphic arts in New York City working primarily in paper, during a trip to Greece and in the presence of the sculptural longevity of classical antiquity, he began to desire to contribute to the lasting history of art. In a quest to learn the most permanent of fine arts, Box studied at foundries in Texas for three years, a decision which afforded him the freedom of experimentation. Ignited with inspiration, and empowered by a full service studio to work in and a treasure trove of paper found in the warehouse of an old print shop the foundry was renting, he started working with paper again. Box says of his technique: “It took two years of tireless experimentation for me to develop the process of casting paper into bronze, another seven years to perfect, and it continues to evolve today.” Today, Kevin Box’s monumental sculptures can be found around the United States including the city of Paramount, CA, the Austin City Symphony, TX, city of Little Rock, AR, the Four Seasons Hotel, Washington D.C., the African American Performing Arts Center in Albuquerque, NM, and around the world including Perth, Australia, the International Hotel, Morocco, and Oita, Japan.

  • Hook Ups and Lay Ups
    By Cal Lane
    Located in Montreal, Quebec
    Laughter, discomfort, perplexity: these are all plausible reactions to the work by sculptor Cal Lane. The artist’s most recent body of work is an affective assemblage of incongruous parts that, taken together, violate our mental patterns and expectations. Charged with contradictions, metaphor, sexual undertones, and unsettling associations, Lane’s unlikely combinations use absurdity as a way of pointing to western society’s normalized habits and conventions, often with an emphasis on gender and sexuality. For the exhibition Try Me, Lane installs a basketball court in the gallery. The two basketball hoops on opposing walls are embellished with silver-coated frames and lustrous mirrors, which serve as decorative backboards. In place of nets, women’s black lace underwear delicately hang from hoops. A decorative rug stenciled with court lines performs as the court floor. It is a mise-en-scène set in motion by viewer’s reconciliation of the individual parts to the whole, and to their original function. Panties regard themselves in the mirror or perhaps measure up their opponent, which, not without irony, is the mirror image of itself. Themes of gender and sexuality are performed and imagined in the upward voyeuristic gaze of the viewer and the expected swoosh of the ball into the net. This is further elaborated by phallic impressions formed by court lines and their likeness to a work of modernist abstraction—a movement wrought by notions of masculinity. The decorative rug’s connection to femininity and domesticity juxtaposes the rigid geometry. Lane further explores the historical gendering of technology, industry, and war in her series of wallpaper drawings, which depict war submarines on cloud patterned wallpaper. The innocence of the submarine in popular culture and its reality as a phallic war object...
