David Altmejd in Wonderland

In Wonderland, Kimball Art Center presents compelling contemporary sculptural and installation-based work by David Altmejd, Uta Bekaia, Yasue Maetake, and Catalina Ouyang that explores transformation, metamorphosis and regeneration through a reimagining of the human and animal form.

In enigmatic hybridized sculptures, each artist uses an array of metaphorically rich materials while blurring the distinction between interior and exterior, surface and structure, and representation and abstraction. Beguiling in their visual complexity yet unnerving in their other-worldliness, their anthropomorphic works create a disconcerting dream-like landscape while also inviting reflection on the complex aspects of the contemporary condition.
