Art Fabricator
Art fabrication describes the process or service of producing large or technically difficult artworks through entities and resources beyond an individual artist's studio.Michelle Kuo"Industrial Revolution: The History of Fabrication,"''Artforum'', August 2007. Accessed April 15, 2019. When artists or designers are incapable or choose not to realize their designs or conceptions, they may enlist the assistance of an art fabrication company.Danielle Child''Working Aesthetics: Labour, Art and Capitalism'' Bloomsbury Publishing, 2019. Accessed April 15, 2019. Typically, an art fabrication company has access to the resources, specialized machinery and technologies, and labor necessary to execute particularly complex projects. According to a 2018 ''New York Times'' article, art fabricators have taken on a greater importance in recent years, as art schools have emphasized ideas and concepts over execution and contemporary artists become less present in their own work.Hass, Nanc"Are Art Fabric ...

Peter Alexander (artist)
Peter Alexander (February 27, 1939 – May 26, 2020) was an American artist who was part of the Light and Space artistic movement in southern California in the 1960s. He is notable for his resin sculptures from the 1960s and 1970s. Early life and education Alexander was born in Los Angeles on February 27, 1939, and was raised in Newport Beach. His family had been residing in Southern California for four generations and operated oil fields. He originally intended to go into architecture. He studied at the University of Pennsylvania (1957–1960); the Architectural Association in London (1960–1962); the University of California, Berkeley (1962–1963); the University of Southern California (1963–64); and the University of California, Los Angeles (1964–65 and 1965–66).

Robert Irwin (artist)
Robert Walter Irwin (September 12, 1928 – October 25, 2023) was an American installation artist who explored perception and the conditional in art, often through site-specific, architectural interventions that alter the physical, sensory and temporal experience of space. Irwin began his career as a painter in the 1950s, but in the 1960s shifted to installation work, becoming a pioneer whose work helped to define the aesthetics and conceptual issues of the West Coast Light and Space movement. His early works often employed light and veils of scrim to transform gallery and museum spaces, but from 1975 until his death, he also incorporated landscape projects into his practice. Irwin conceived over fifty-five site-specific projects, at institutions including the Getty Center (1992–98), Dia:Beacon (1999–2003), and the Chinati Foundation in Marfa, Texas (2001–16). The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles mounted the first retrospective of his work in 1993; in 2008, t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Helen Pashgian
Helen Pashgian (born 1934) is an American visual artist who lives and works in Pasadena, California. She is a primary member of the Light and Space art movement of the 1960s, but her role has been historically under-recognized. Education She received her B.A. from Pomona College in 1956, attended Columbia University from 1956–57, and received her M.A. from Boston University in 1958. While pursuing a Ph.D. at Harvard University in preparation for a career in academia or museum work, Pashgian taught an applied art class at a local high school and eventually transitioned into art-making. Work Pashgian creates sculptures made of industrial materials such as resin, fiberglass, plastic, and coated glass. The luminous properties of these materials reflect her longstanding interest in the effects and perception of light. The artist has focused primarily on cast resin, "creating intimately scaled, translucent objects that incorporate vibrant colors and precisely finished surfaces. ...

Shana Mabari
Shana Mabari (born April 4, 1969) is an American contemporary artist who lives and works in Los Angeles. Central to her artistic practice is a focus on the intersection of art, science, and technology as articulated in her sculptures, installations, and immersive environments. Working in industrially fabricated acrylic, steel, and reflective materials, Mabari engages with color, light, reflection, geometric form, and scale in a manner that connects to the Light and Space art movement that originated in Southern California in the 1960s. Artist residencies with NASA in 2018 and the international nonprofit organization Sea Shepherd Global in 2020 further expanded Mabari's practice. For her sculpture and installations, Mabari designs on computer and builds scale models. From 2013 to 2023, she collaborated with Jack Brogan, the renowned Southern California–based fabricator who produced works by Light and Space artists such as Peter Alexander, Larry Bell, and Robert Irwin.
