SUMMARY:Bleacher Talk: Tyrrell Winston & Laura Mott\, Chief Curator
DESCRIPTION:Bleachers are inherently linked to both community and intimacy.
  On top of the bleachers\, you have the raucousness of fandom that brings 
 people together for the love of the game. Underneath\, the bleachers are w
 here whispered voices and more intimate interactions happen. Bleacher Tal
 ks activate the temporary sculpture The Kiss\, featuring two bleachers bo
 rrowed from Cranbrook Schools campus. Typically staged on opposing sides o
 f the field\, Winston brings them together to bridge a conversation within
  Tyrrell Winston: A Tiger’s Stripes\, join us for an intimate exchange o
 f ideas between Tyrrell Winston and Chief Curator\, Laura Mott.\n\nThis ta
 lk is free and open to the public\, please RSVP using the form below.\n\nC
 alifornia-born\, Detroit-based artist Tyrrell Winston’s artwork is a res
 ult of years of collecting\, organizing\, and reconfiguring discarded obje
 cts. Winston has obsessively collected found objects from the streets of M
 anhattan\, Brooklyn and now Detroit\, as a public service\, examination of
 \, and fascination with the permanent energy left behind within the object
 s. Winston’s work also revolves around drawing parallels in the absurdit
 y between the symbolism of contrasting objects. The intentional mixture of
  these elements examine hope and hopelessness\, resurrection and regenerat
 ion\, vitality and recklessness. \n\nWinston is well known for his basket
 ball wall sculptures that explore the concept of embedded history and how 
 an object’s past can become abstracted. All of the basketballs in this s
 eries are found objects which Tyrrell manipulates into sculptural shapes a
 s he links them together into a set of predetermined compositions. In an a
 ge where connections are intangible and we’ve lost sight of material con
 sequence\, Winston’s assemblages are a reminder that the things we negle
 ct don’t disappear simply because we’ve moved on. His works nudge us t
 o remember the persistent energy that remains within seemingly insignifica
 nt records of human existence. \n\nWinston’s new sculptural works from 
 outdoor bleachers\, serve as a forum for conversations\, transforming the 
 object’s typical function of seating opposing teams into a space of dial
 ogue and creative exchange. \n\nLaura Mott is the Chief Curator of Cranbr
 ook Art Museum.  She joined the museum in November 2013 following an acti
 ve career as a curator and lecturer in both the United States and Europe.
