Mowry Baden: Day by Day<br />
DELUGE GALLERY, VICTORIA BC – APR 6-MAY 12 Mowry<br />
Baden is a prominent Canadian sculptor who has<br />
influenced a generation of sculptors in Canada and the<br />
United States with his participatory installations. He has<br />
been described as “a maker of task-oriented objects”<br />
intended to lure visitors and stimulate physical and<br />
perceptual interaction. <strong>The</strong> Deluge exhibit presents a<br />
selection of over 70 drawings from among hundreds of<br />
sketchbook pages. <strong>The</strong> drawings include schematics for<br />
sculptural projects, delicate figurative sketches and<br />
abstract illustrations. <strong>The</strong>y provide a rare look at Baden’s<br />
creative process.<br />
Baden’s body-oriented works of the late 1960s and<br />
early 1970s, and his broader interest in the perceptual<br />
and interactive possibilities of art were considered<br />
influential to artists Kim Adams, Lewis Baltz, Michael<br />
Brewster, Chris Burden, Stephen Davis, and Jessica<br />
Stockholder. His conceptual frameworks, borrowed from<br />
psychology, architecture and performance, challenge the<br />
tenets of contemporary sculpture.<br />
Baden taught at Stanford University, the University of<br />
