Nari Ward at Socrates Sculpture Park

The MFA Program and Hunter College Department of Art are proud to announce the exhibition of Professor Nari Ward at Socrates Sculpture Park. The exhibition, Nari Ward: G.O.A.T., again, features a series of six newly commissioned outdoor artworks that were created on site and on view April 29 – September 4, 2017.

"Ward recasts tropes of outdoor structures — the monument, the playground, lawn ornaments, architectural barriers, and the advertising sign — into surreal and playful creations. Nari Ward:G.O.A.T., again examines how hubris creates misplaced expectations in American cultural politics. This exhibition also brings new insight into the artist’s exploration of identity, social progress, the urban environment, and group belonging." (From the Socrates Sculpture Park press release)
