Indepth Arts News: "Conversation with Igun: Sculpture by Melvin Edwards" 2001-03-16 until 2001-05-13 Bayly Art Museum Charlottesville, VA, USA
Melvin Edwards grew up in the West and Southwest, establishing his reputation as a sculptor in the 1960s,
when a proliferation of artists worked in cast and welded metal. After moving to New York in the 1970s, he
participated in the art world's widening interest in issues of race and ethnicity, as evidence in his extensive
exhibition record and visiting artist positions. The artist's exhibition at the Bayly Art Museum is sponsored
in part by the University's Arts Enhancement Funds. It also supports an exciting multi-arts program
sponsored by the Virginia Festival of the Book, March 22-25, 2001. Mr. Edwards' wife, Jayne Cortez, will
perform her poetry, accompanied by the Untempered Ensemble, on Thursday, March 22, at 9 pm at Culbreth
Theatre.
The exhibition is supported in part by the Office of African-American Affairs.
