This year Storm King Art Center celebrates its thirtieth year. To commemorate this very special anniversary, the Board of Trustees and staff are delighted to present Complex Visions: Sculpture and Drawings by Alice Aycock. This exhibition is an important overview of the artist's key works, spanning nearly twenty years from Aycock's mythic architectural scenarios and mixed-media installations to her recent complex models of the universe.

Alice Aycock is a sculptor of singular imagination, a pivotal figure in the field of contemporary art. Her major thirty-two-foot-high outdoor work, Three-Fold Manifestation II, was a 1987 gift from the artist to the Art Center's permanent collection. This sculpture and other works in the exhibition, including three additional large-scale outdoor installations, are compelling examples of Aycock's continuing exploration of science, ideology, and the human mind. Her fascination with enigmatic cultural systems-- of thought, belief, and technology--is translated into sculpture and drawings that are visually and physically complex, multi-referential, and open to interpretation.
