THINK Audio: Sculptor Tony Cragg at the Nasher


by Jerome Weeks 11 Sep 2011 3:04 PM

THINK host Krys Boyd talks with Turner Prize-winning sculptor Tony Cragg about his new show at the Nasher Sculpture Center — the first American exhibition of his work in the US in almost 20 years. They discuss ‘art history’ and ‘personal history,’ as he says — Pop Art to biochemistry to rubbish dumps.

THINK host Krys Boyd talks with Turner-Prize-winning British sculptor Tony Cragg about his work and the new exhibition, Seeing Things, running at the Nasher Sculpture Center through January 8. They discuss the natural-vs.human source of shapes in our world, his education in (and eventual boredom with) biochemistry, his drawings and his ‘dialogue’ with his sculptural materials, and how that leads to his art works. Currently, he says, he’s working on around 30 works — some for as long as four years, others he just started this week. The point is to keep working, he says.
