Scott Burton - Heather Alexis Smith

An Unprecedented Glimpse Into The Working Methods And The Complicated Legacy Of An Important Twentieth-century Artist Over The Course Of His More Than Three-decade Career, Scott Burton (19391989) Made Groundbreaking Contributions To Sculpture, Performance, Public Art, Queer Art, And Criticism. Responding To What He Identified As A Gap Between Art And Its Potential Audiences, Burton Became A Tireless Advocate For Accessible And Popular Artworks That Everyday People Could Use And Enjoy. In Keeping With This Principle, He Also Designed Performances And Sculpture Furniture To Explore And Orchestrate Social Dynamics; He Was Particularly Interested In Intimacy, Distance, Collectivity, And Isolation.
