Aaron Curry: Melt to Earth
For Melt to Earth, Los Angeles–based artist Aaron Curry (born 1972) engaged the architecture of New York's Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, transforming an urban plaza into a sculptural theater-in-the-round. Part figurative deconstruction, part abstract invention, Curry's 14 site-specific, boldly painted, larger-than-life sculptures evoked the theater designs of Matisse and Picasso, positioned as if in orbit around the iconic Revson Fountain on Josie Robertson Plaza. The book is beautifully designed and produced with dual stitched bindings on its outer edge, opening into two 64-page sections on opposite sides: a black-and-white "Production Book" and a full-color "Installation Book."
