Lynda Benglis in Conversation with Robert Enright
In anticipation of Lynda Benglis’s exhibition, Water Sources, at New York’s Storm King Art Center, a conversation between the artist and Border Crossings’ Senior Contributing Editor Robert Enright will take place Sunday, May 17 at 2pm.
This is particularly exciting as Border Crossings has conducted an interview with Lynda Benglis for our upcoming Issue 134, to be printed next week. The issue will feature all women artists - stay tuned!

From the Storm King website:
Many of the outdoor works are fountains—some created in bronze, and others in bright pink cast pigmented polyurethane—several of which have never before been exhibited publicly. Indoors, the exhibition will include works in bronze and stone made in the early 1990s, soon after Benglis established a residence in the Southwest. These take the idea of landscape—in particular the rock formations of New Mexico—as their conceptual foundation, while the related exterior fountains meditate on the flow of water and the human body, as well as the idea of plenty and abundance. Also indoors will be large-scale works in cast pigmented polyurethane including Swinburne Figure I (in pink) and Black Ice (in black), as well as a selection of ceramic sculptures. Benglis has been represented in Storm King’s permanent collection since 1974, when Nu, a knotted work made that year that is part of a series of characters from the Greek alphabet (and which will be on view in this exhibition), was acquired. Lynda Benglis: Water Sources is the first exhibition to concentrate on and bring together a major body of outdoor work created by Benglis.
Water Sources will run May 16 - November 8, 2015.
