The Sculpture Center

Spend an hour with Ling-lin Ku for an artist talk and tour of her exhibition <a href="https://sculpturecenter.org/ling-lin-ku-2/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Morning After</a>. We’ll have the opportunity to explore the exhibition more deeply through conversation with the artist and audience, as Ku shares her inspirations, the conceptual goals behind her work, the techniques she uses in her creative process, and the core themes that shape the exhibition.
About the exhibition:
<a href="https://sculpturecenter.org/ling-lin-ku-2/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Morning After</a> is a series of large-scale sculptures that blend breakfast imagery with sexual motifs to explore desire, indulgence, and vulnerability. At once seductive and unsettling, the works transform familiar domestic forms into exaggerated, hybridized environments that blur the line between pleasure and discomfort. Combining handcrafted techniques with digital processes like 3D scanning and CNC routing, Ku creates tactile yet uncanny objects that invite viewers to reflect on the complex intersections of fantasy, longing, and embodiment.&nbsp;
About Ling-lin Ku:
Ling-lin Ku is a Taiwanese-born multimedia artist and educator whose sculptural and installation works explore the intersection of the digital and the tangible. Known for her playful yet conceptually rigorous practice, she uses digital fabrication and everyday materials to transform familiar objects into surreal, thought-provoking forms. Ku currently serves as Assistant Professor of Studio Art at Oberlin College and Conservatory.

Martin Puryear’s (American, born 1941) singular work across mediums illuminates the expressive potential for abstraction in our time. Martin Puryear: Nexus highlights the global histories that have inspired Puryear’s practice, offering a fresh and timely perspective on his impactful body of work. While accentuating the art’s visual allure, this exhibition and its accompanying catalogue shed light on the ways that the artist’s unique visual vocabulary has been shaped by his enduring interests in global traditions of material culture, African American history, and the natural world.
