David Jacobs: Sight and Sound

February 4 - April 27, 2014
Emily Lowe Gallery

This singular exhibition created by Karen T. Albert, associate director of exhibitions and collections for the Hofstra University Museum, highlights selected works from the prolific career of the contemporary artist David Jacobs (right). Multiple aspects of his artistic directions and sensibilities are conveyed through the sculpture on view, which date from 1959 to 1987. Featured is his Sound Columns Environment, part of his famous Wah Wah series, work that exemplify his use of nontraditional materials to create a dynamic aesthetic. These large-scale sculptures use principles of physics and engineering to create sound using air. The artist asks viewers to actively participate with his works by immersing themselves in the sensory experiences he creates.

Further information about the artist and his work is available on his website: www.davidjacobssculpture.com
