David Nash is one of the world's leading sculptors. Based in Wales, he is best known for large wooden works made with a chainsaw and an ax, sometimes burned and blackened with a torch. He has also created several important works of land art. This event takes place over two evenings, and it is hoped that attendees will come to both.
On October 1 there will be screenings of two rare documentaries that draw an intimate portrait of Nash's artistic approach and methods. Afterward the audience will be encouraged to write down questions for him, which he will use as a springboard for an active and informed discussion on October 8 in Timken Lecture Hall. Haines Gallery in San Francisco will open a solo exhibition of Nash's work on Friday, October 10, from 5:30-7:30 p.m.
The Design and Craft Lecture Series is funded by Grants for the Arts / San Francisco Hotel Tax Fund, the Wornick Endowment Fund, and the American Craft Council.
