Art by Maloney News Flash
Steve Maloney has been accepted as a contestant in an international art competition giving away the world's largest ArtPrize of $250,000. His sculpture, Winding Road was chosen for exhibit by the Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park - Exhibition Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan for the ArtPrize event September 22 - October 10.
Venue description
One of the world's most significant botanic and sculpture experiences, Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park serves more than a half-million visitors annually. Meijer Gardens was recently named one of the world's 30 Must-See Museums by Patricia Schultz, author of 1,000 Places to See Before you Die. The 132-acre grounds feature Michigan's largest tropical conservatory; one of the largest children's gardens in the country; arid and Victorian gardens with bronze sculptures by Degas and Rodin; a carnivorous plant house; outdoor gardens; and a 1750-seat outdoor amphitheater, featuring an eclectic mix of world-renowned musicians every summer. The internationally acclaimed Sculpture Park features a permanent collection including works by Rodin, Oldenburg, Moore, Bourgeois, and Plensa among others. Indoor galleries host changing sculpture exhibitions with recent exhibitions by Picasso, Degas, di Suvero, Borofsky and Calder.
The Sculpture WINDING ROAD
Mixed Media; Stainless steel; panels, cones, cables, bands.
Metal rods and tubing, oil stick, and graffiti spray paint, wood panels,
shipping container, GPS. Miscellaneous parts from deconstructed 2005 Lexus
RX 400h, mileage 14,072 including; computer, spare tire, hood, roof rack,
dashboard, toe hook, cross steering support assembly strut with brake pedal,
instrument cluster, shifter, head & tail lights, fasteners, seat belt, floor
scuff plate, wiring, VIN Number plate, sheet metal, rear window lift gate,
steering wheel, windshield wiper, rear view mirror, steering box and
more....
My Winding Road sculpture merges in twisted tangles begging to burst free. Bound by rivets, welds and cable with deliberate fragmentation and deconstruction; the car parts create a vivid visual paean to contemporary challenges faced by automobile manufacturers to develop vehicles that meet the needs of our very mobile society. The goal is all encompassing: a powerful machine with smooth handling and optimal fuel-efficiency, wrapped in a sexy package. Winding Road's many sculptural Lexus RX 400h components, such as the hybrid computer and miles of wires, are mounted within a shipping container whose reflective interior surfaces add visual power and movement to the piece. Indeed, the interior is aglow with lights. With its bulk, the container is integral to the work, lending an aesthetically pleasing background as well as a convenient means for display, shipping and reinstallation. The container is also set with a GPS, which makes the sculpture traceable.
