What Things May Come! 3D Printing in the Fine Arts and Sciences What Things May Come! 3D Printing in the Fine Arts and Sciences. BROWN SYMPOSIUM XXXVII FEB. 26-27, 2015 Harvard Business Review states that 3D Print technology will change the world. No longer science fiction, 3 D Printing is a reality that it is appearing everywhere from home to office. Not bound by dimension or material, we have begun to see inventive and dynamic new methods of creating things both strange and familiar. It is the engineers and artists who first recognized the possibilities that 3D Printing would enable. The social impact of 3D Printing alone has had a remarkable impact upon those whose missing limbs impede their lives. There is not an arena that has been left untouched by the impact of 3D printing. Unfortunately, most news surrounding 3D printing has been focused on rather mundane objects like a working gun or missing parts, but what has not been discussed is the printing of things not thought possible before, such as functioning human organs from your own cells or how this technology changes the way in which human beings think creatively and thus its impact on various fields of study. 3D printing is different from other forms of knowledge in that it allows not only for discovery of things long past as in its use in archaeology, but it has the potential to solve major issues in our lives, such as building no waste environmentally friendly homes, replacing damaged coral reefs, mass producing customized products, exploring other planets, replacing living body parts, or creating unique sculptural forms or musical instruments that one could only imagine prior to the invention and expansion of the 3D printer. What we will be discussing is the impact of 3D print technology on the human mind as it endeavors to meet future challenges in the arts and sciences. Come and discuss the future with these speakers for this 37 Brown Symposium. Dr. Anthony Atala M.D. (Feb 26th only) the Director of the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine, and the W.H. Boyce Professor and Chair of the Department of Urology at Wake Forest University: Regenerative Medicine: Current Concepts and Changing Trends Prof. Olaf Diegel of Lund University Sweden: “3D Printing: a Bridge to Unlimited Creativity”, Bruce Beasley world-renowned sculptor; 3D Printing Sculpture: Where am I going and What am I doing. Prof. Robert Michael Smith of NYIT: "Robert Michael Smith: In Search of the Lost Coord" Panel Discussion with creative thinkers from around the world on Friday Feb 27, 2015. Prof. Mary Visser holder of the Herman Brown Chair, Southwestern University - We are in this moment on a very long slope of change in how we humans do things in this world. Although the focus is at the moment on making things we will see a remarkable shift in how our brains respond to solving problems. I have already observed this shift in my classrooms where students new to art who have never drawn before are able to construct forms directly in virtual reality and translate their ideas into real world forms. This shift in creativity and how the mind forms its responses is responsible for developing solutions from regenerating our bodies to conserving our resources in viable effective ways. This technology holds answers we have not yet begun to explore. What is not being discussed in the public realm and what we will focus on in this symposium is how this technology changes the very way we think and approach creative solutions. Its important to point out that the ideas that 3D technology now facilitates have been with us since we began drawing images on the walls of caves. Human beings have been representing our three- dimensional world on flat surfaces for thousands of years. But we live in a three D world and most of its problems are 3D in nature. I have chosen these three fields to examine in this 37th Brown symposium as each one has been actively involved from the beginning and the changes are dramatic. First sculpture because it has the longest and most interactive history with 3D Print technology. In Sculpture we will have an international exhibition of sculptural works printed by artists who are pioneers in this field. Our first speaker is world-renowned sculptor Bruce Beasley who will be speaking about his work and how 3D printing changed his way of working and thinking. The title of his talk is 3D Printing Sculpture: Where am I going and What am I doing. We will also have the artist Prof. Robert Michael Smith from NYIT giving a presentation on his research entitled "Robert Michael Smith: In Search of the Lost Coord". He will discuss his groundbreaking process of creating living sculptures from his own body cells. And in Music Prof. Olaf Diegel from Lund University in Sweden will be speaking on “3D Printing: a Bridge to Unlimited Creativity”. According to Professor Diegel customization will be the key because rethinking the form will be as simple as changing the code. Thus, creativity in meeting individuals’ needs will change the social impact of this technology on all human beings from creating prosthetics to facial restructuring. Meeting individual desires and needs, instead of sameness will change the way we think culturally, socially and economically. This is a major shift in how we do things around the world from inventing, creating, moving and making this shift will change what we do and how we will build our lives in the future as it already has for some now. Our speaker who will address 3D Printing in the Sciences is Professor Anthony Atala, M.D., the Director of the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine, and the W.H. Boyce Professor and Chair of the Department of Urology at Wake Forest University. Dr. Atala is a practicing surgeon and a researcher in the area of regenerative medicine. His current work focuses on growing new human cells, tissues and organs. Dr Atala will speak about building organs with a 3D Ink-Jet Printer. This is actually being done in the lab of Anthony Atala today. One of the projects they are working on is building functional, beating heart valves, which they exercise in a bioreactor to help precondition them for implantation. What changes will opening this Pandora’s box create for the human species? The following day the panelists will discuss what are the changes in creative thinking that 3D printing holds for sculptors, scientists, and musicians. How will these changes in creative thinking influence the use and development of 3D printing for the 21st century? To anyone who hasn’t seen a 3 D Printer demonstrated, it sounds futuristic—like the Jetsons dinner arriving at the touch of a keypad. Although the 3D printing technology is simple in concept it is evolutionary in what it offers. By enabling a machine to produce objects of any shape, on the spot and as needed, 3-D printing really is ushering in a new era. So come and participate in the 2015 Brown Symposium on What Things May Come and you will be amazed at the changes and the implications for our future in all areas. This symposium includes an International Digital Sculpture Art Exhibition with more than 40 works from around the world by well known sculptors in the field. January 4th –March 5th. Opening reception to be held during the symposium Jan 26th with panel discussions by artists on Friday. We will have demonstrations of how this process works and other creations in the 3 D world. The Empty Bowls project will also return to be held on Thursday at lunchtime. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The following information pertains to the speakers and moderator. This includes bios to share with your students plus pictures of their most recent work. I will be sending out utube links to their works. There are 30 artists in the international art exhibition and they are the pioneers in this field. There will be a link on the Brown Web site to each artist along with examples of their work. BRUCE BEASLEY Bruce Beasley biography: Bruce Beasley (born 1939, Los Angeles, California) is an American abstract expressionist sculptor born in Los Angeles and currently living and working in Oakland, California. He attended Dartmouth College from 1957–59, and the University of California, Berkeley from 1959-62 where he earned his BA. Beasley ranks among the most productive sculptors of the post- Henry Moore/David Smith generation of abstract sculptors. His work can be found in the permanent collection of 30 art museums around the world, including: Museum of Modern Art in New York City; the Guggenheim Museum, New York City; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the National Art Museum of China in Beijing; the Musee National d'Art Moderne-Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris; the Smithsonian Museum of American Art in Washington, DC; the Kunsthalle Mannheim in Germany; and the Islamic Museum in Cairo. Fascinated by the esthetics of transparency, Beasley worked in cast acrylic for the next ten years. In 1974, members of the undersea research community approached Beasley to see if he could adapt his technique to cast transparent bathyspheres for undersea exploration. He succeeded in creating the bathyspheres for Johnson Sea Link submersibles for Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute. [6] It was these submersibles that were deployed to locate the crew compartment on the bottom of the ocean after the Space Shuttle Challenger disintegrated upon liftoff in 1986. Beasley continued to make transparent sculpture for the next ten years. His transparent sculptures were exhibited widely both in the US and abroad including solo exhibitions in 1972 at the DeYoung Museum in San Francisco, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, the San Diego Museum of Art, and group shows including the Salon de Mai in Paris and at Expo 70 in Osaka, Japan.

  • Grounds for Sculpture Organizes Major Retrospective of Bruce Beasley Featuring Iconic Works That Span the Groundbreaking Artist’S 60-Year Career
    Grounds For Sculpture Organizes Major Retrospective of Bruce Beasley Featuring iconic works that span the groundbreaking artist’s 60-year career HAMILTON, NJ (April 22, 2021) – For six decades, sculptor Bruce Beasley has worked in a range of media to build complex, resonant arrangements from simple shapes that communicate the primacy of form and express the complexity of human emotion. This spring, Grounds For Sculpture (GFS) will present a major retrospective of the prolific pioneer, showcasing 62 of Beasley’s most important works, from his early iron assemblages featured in the influential exhibition, The Art of Assemblage (1961), at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) to his latest collages on canvas, a first for the sculptor. Bruce Beasley: Sixty Year Retrospective, 1960-2020 is the California-based artist’s first solo museum exhibition on the East Coast and will be on view in Grounds For Sculpture’s indoor galleries as well as in eight outdoor locations throughout the 42-acre landscaped park, from May 2, 2021 through January 9, 2022. “Bruce Beasley is a fearless experimenter and one of the foremost sculptors on the West Coast, who has made significant and lasting contributions to the field for over sixty years,” said Gary Garrido Schneider, Executive Director of Grounds For Sculpture. “Through our work to advance the field of sculpture at large, we build strong relationships with contemporary practitioners. Beasley is a notable example of an artist who we have been fortunate to call a friend for decades, beginning with an early loan of Dorion, now a part of the permanent collection and a regular feature on our grounds.

  • Bruce Beasley Oakland, California, USA
    Brown Symposium XXXVII at Southwestern University What Things May Come: The Third International 3D Print Sculpture exhibition Artists’ Biographies and Statements Bruce Beasley Oakland, California, USA Biography: Bruce Beasley is one of the United States most prominent sculptors. In 1962 The Museum of Modern Art in New York acquired one of Beasley’s sculptures making him the youngest artist ever to be included in their permanent collection. In 1963, he won the purchase prize in the Paris Biennale, the world’s most prestigious international exhibition. Since that time Beasley has had his sculptures included in the permanent collection of 33 art museums around the world. He has had over 55 solo exhibitions in the US and abroad and has been included in hundreds of important group exhibitions. He has represented the United States in numerous international Biennale exhibitions and world fairs. Beasley has done 35 monumental sculpture commissions in the United States and abroad. Including sculptures for the Beijing Olympic Games and the Shanghai world expo. He has just completed a large granite sculpture for the city of Palo Alto, and he currently has a solo exhibition of 5 large sculptures on the campus of the University of California at Berkeley. www.BruceBeasley.com Artist Statement: I began working with 3D computer modeling in 1987. The issue that drew me to computer modeling was the desire to be able to manipulate and intersect shapes easily and spontaneously, free of the constraints of real material. My background is the direct metal working tradition of sculpture, where the esthetic composition and physical making of the sculpture are one and the same.

    5800 Shellmound Street - interior and exterior HYATT HOUSE COLLECTION 1 Lighted Glass Wall and Doors { Larry Zgoda Walking { Stained Glass Map Site #26 Larry Zgoda creates art in stained glass. “As in { 2000 music with millions of possible combinations for { Hyatt House - 5800 tone, cadence, harmony and dissonance,” he Shellmound Street notes, “stained glass has line, color, pattern, and light. Honest composition, in some way comes from nature.” Zgoda, from the very beginning of his interest in stained and leaded glass, saw the craft as an opportunity to create new art for architecture. Zgoda makes a conscientious effort toward environmentally sound practices in studio, design, and fabrication activities. This is all part of his commitment to an aesthetics that encourage the long-lived and essential, not the petty and disposable. Zgoda advocates a genuine and permanent beauty in the built environment, a true measure of value in human works both past and present. 2 Sol and Luna Luna Asparagus People Series Surreal, elegant, inviting, and whimsical { Llisa Demetrios are terms that best describe the artwork { Bronze of Llisa Demetrios.

Working in bronze with abstract forms, Demetrios shapes sculpture that is universally approachable, yet with individual impact.

  • Bruce Beasley
    BRUCE BEASLEY BRUCE BEASLEY PANGOLIN LONDON 1 FOREWORD rom the outset, Bruce Beasley established himself as an important Fsculptor. In 1962 he became the youngest artist to enter the permanent collection of MOMA, New York, with the acquisition of Chorus (1961). During the previous year he had contributed work to the same museum’s The Art of Assemblage exhibition where his work was referred to by Philip Linhares, Chief Curator at Oakland Museum, as seminal. In 1963 he was awarded the purchase prize at the Paris Biennial. Building upon these early successes, Beasley has continued to surprise with his diverse output and, in the process, he has created an outstanding body of work. This has resulted in numerous exhibitions throughout the world and strong representation in major private and public collections across North America and beyond. Although he may not want to be described as a West Coast artist, this is where he hails from and where he lives and works. In Oakland he converted dilapidated premises in an unfashionable area of town into a studio, extensive workshops and a family home. He demonstrated a strong commitment to the local community and has now extended his space to include a sculpture park. From Oakland he has criss-crossed America and travelled to many countries – organising major exhibitions of his work, creating public and private commissions and, through conferences and public debates, helping to promote a greater understanding of art and the contribution it can make to society. This manifested itself strongly through his long term involvement as an active and influential Board member of the International Sculpture Centre (ISC).
