Public Installation: Amanda Browder's "Rapunzel" Description:
The Montana Museum of Art & Culture presents a site specific installation of artist Amanda Browder's large scale fabric sculpture "Rapunzel", south corner of the Missoula Mercantile building, 5-8 pm. This event is in conjunction with the MMAC exhibition "Amanda Browder: End of the Infinite" on view Oct. 16, 2014 - Jan. 10, 2015, UM PARTV Center, Meloy Gallery.
Missoula-born, Brooklyn-based Browder is a fabric artist who is challenging, reviving and redefining 'soft' sculpture, which at times delves into the realm of large-scale public sculpture. Her work is about materials and craft, work ethic, community and created spaces. Recent projects include Hello Niagara!, a monumental, quilted waterfall draped over the Tobacco Warehouse in Brooklyn.
Browder is a former professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and while in Chicago she co-founded the contemporary art podcast Bad at Sports. Browder has exhibited internationally at the Nakaochiai Gallery, Tokyo, Japan; Lothringer 14, Munich, Germany; White Columns, New York; Gallery 400-UIC, and The Hyde Park Art Center, Chicago. Last year, Amanda covered a building in her local neighborhood and received a grant from Brooklyn Arts Council and the NPArt.
