Exhibition - Wayne Campbell: Residuum

About the Event

Wayne Campbell: Residuum

Curated by Elia Haworth

Wayne Campbell’s art installations are memorable for their conceptual eloquence and sophisticated use of materials. This exhibition features diverse works constructed in steel and glass, which explore and interpret stories, memories, and ideas that have percolated in Campbell’s mind for years. This exhibition explores his residuum—that which remains or where bedrock weathers and enriches the soil. One of the installations on view is suspended from the ceiling and seen through a mirror placed beneath it; another is a revisitation of his creation Swept Up—comprised of floating steel bamboo and laser-cut steel panels that share his father’s harrowing experience as a prisoner of war.

Campbell is an artist of many talents: architectural draftsman, fine furniture maker, sculptor, installation expert, and curator. He is also a mountain climber and instructor, mountain rescue leader, a pioneer in climbing wall design, and a business owner. Campbell is also well known for his work as a fabricator and master rigger for Zaccho Dance Theater, where his design expertise allows dancers to perform off the side of buildings or suspended from the ceiling of venues such as Grace Cathedral. His sculptures, paintings, and conceptual art pieces have been shown in New York, San Francisco, Oakland, and Washington, D.C.
