Sculpture Candidate Presentation: E Tubergen

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC | E Tubergen, candidate for the full-time faculty position in sculpture, will present their work to the community in a public talk.

Queer Spatiality
Artist E Tubergen discusses the last decade of their large-scale sculptural practice, focusing on themes of site-specificity, relationality, monumentality, embodiment, and queer corporeality. How can sculpture produce an ongoing space of encounter? How are form and material political? How can taking up space create more space for difference?

E Tubergen is an artist living and working between Queens, NY and Leyden, MA. Tubergen’s work stems from a negotiation of queerness as a spatial condition and relationship as site. Her work has been shown internationally and she is the recipient of fellowships from Socrates Sculpture Park, the Alexander Von Humboldt Foundation, Kustlerhaus Bethanien, the Jacob K. Javits Foundation, the Fulbright Program, the American-Scandinavian Foundation, the MacDowell Colony, the Vermont Studio Center, and Ox-Bow School of Art among others. Tubergen received her MFA from Hunter College in New York City in 2013, attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 2015, and is presently core faculty in sculpture at Yale School of Art.
