Wrenching News
Sculptor Maren Hassinger ’69 was the subject of a profile by the National Museum of Women in the Arts, which included Hassinger’s abstract sculpture, Wrenching News, in its current exhibition showcasing abstract works by multiple generations of black women artists born between 1891 and 1981.
Hassinger, director of the Rinehart School of Sculpture at the Maryland Institute College of Art, is fascinated by turning unconventional materials—New York Times newspapers, in the case of Wrenching News—into works of art that “offer an experience to look and to see, to contemplate,” she said.
Magnetic Fields: Expanding American Abstraction, 1960s to Today, is on view through January 21, 2018.
