'Sculpture Invasion' Lands at Oakton
Nearly 80 unique works of sculpture - the largest exhibition of its kind this year in the Midwest - "invades" the Des Plaines campus of Oakton Community College, 1600 E. Golf Road, starting Thursday, July 12.
"Sculpture Invasion" is a juried exhibition featuring 47 works by members of Chicago Sculpture International. The exhibition features 13 large outdoor sculptures situated throughout the Oakton Sculpture Park, which hosts more than 20 permanent works. Thirty-five smaller sculptures and models may be enjoyed indoors, at the Koehnline Museum of Art. Combined with permanent collection works by Richard Hunt and other artists, visitors to "Sculpture Invasion," which runs through Aug. 30, will be able to see nearly 80 distinctive works on display.
Featured artists include Mike Helbing, whose two-foot tall Mangrove Stalker is evocative of another popular summer invader, the cicada. Works by Neil Goodman, Barry Tinsley, Jerry Peart, Terry Karpowicz, Virginio Ferrari, and Christine Rojek also are included.
The public is invited to a free reception for "Sculpture Invasion," 5 - 8 p.m., Thursday, July 12, at Koehnline Museum of Art.
Formed in 2004, Chicago Sculpture International has more than 140 members working in all scales and materials, ranging from stone and steel to nylon and video.
The Koehnline Museum of Art is operating under its summer hours, open 10 a.m. - 7 p.m., Monday through Friday until August.
