An exhibition of sculptures and drawings titled Laura Kaufman: Drafter will open in the C-GCC Foundation Gallery on Thursday, Oct. 18, with a reception from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m.
The show features work from the artist’s studio practice in language and textiles, and will remain in the gallery until November 21.
Kaufman will exhibit sculptures of punctuation marks woven in industrial felt, and drawings of plaids – the forms of which are derived from scientific reporting. Using language and geometric abstraction, Kaufman builds and undermines existing systems of shapes, words, and numbers. Her works are made by joining, embroidering, weaving, folding, and printing with materials including felt, steel, linen, and cotton. With references to landscape, minimalism, and traditional textile crafts, Kaufman has invented new, blended relationships that hover between drawing and sculpture.
Kaufman is an artist and educator whose projects have been exhibited nationally, including at the University Art Museum, University of Albany; Biers Gallery at Columbus College of Art and Design, Columbus, Ohio; Field Projects Gallery, New York, NY; the Bronx Museum of Art, and many other venues.
She received a MFA in Sculpture from the Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, R.I., and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Studio Art from Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, N.Y.
Gallery hours are Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call (518) 828-4181, extension 3241.
