SculptureCenter



We Burn, We Shiver.
Ugo Rondinone and Martin Boyce.

We Burn, We Shiver. features new works by Ugo Rondinone and Martin Boyce, creating a sculptural conversation in which public and private space collide and the prosaic meets the romantic. 

Among the works featured is a suspended sculpture by Martin Boyce composed of standard fluorescent light fixtures in the form of a web. Measuring approximately forty by fifty feet, the piece fills the entirety of SculptureCenter's ceiling space and hangs 17 feet above the ground. Boyce has employed the web as a motif for several years, a form that references the urban grid and simultaneously suggests organic order, possessing the ability to expand infinitely. The sculpture in 
We Burn, We Shiver. will diverge from an earlier version of the piece in that the web will be irregular, reflecting a broken grid.
