Text by Phong H. Bui, Eric Shiner, Yayoi Shionoiri.Over the past five decades, California-based artist Nancy Rubins (born 1952) has transformed everyday objects into dynamic, otherworldly assemblages in a multitude of scales, dimensions and mediums. Fluid Force presents a comprehensive survey of Rubins’ gravity-defying sculpture and invites us to linger on her investigations of materiality. The works range from early explorations of wood and clay to two-dimensional photo-collages and graphite sculptural drawings, to complex sculptures comprising found domestic objects (such as televisions, toasters and hair dryers) and large salvaged objects such as boats, mattresses and airplane parts.
Rubins’ fascination with form and matter is unmistakable. With over 90 photographs and new texts by Phong H. Bui, Eric Shiner and Yayoi Shionoiri, Fluid Force is a much-needed publication that celebrates Rubins’ extensive career and her brilliance in uniting the worlds of art and engineering. Her work serves as a reminder that what appears solid and static is in fact in a constant state of change. BOOK FORMAT

This three-volume publication is a visual journey through 40 years of Nancy Rubins' sculptures and drawings. The first two volumes begin with Rubins' student work, where her themes, methods and ambitions emerge. The first volume moves through numerous large-scale sculptures incorporating massive quantities of used electric appliances with concrete and rebar, then on to trailers, hot water heaters, mattresses, airplane parts and small boats held in suspended tension by webs of cables. The second volume explores Rubins' often gigantic and sculptural drawings, densely covered with graphite pencil marks that embody the intense and abundant energy of their making. A final booklet with a series of playful and candid self-portrait photographs taken at the Baltimore train station photo booth in 1972–4 completes Work.
