‘Incanto’ sculpture display opens at Lewis Ginter April 29
Table of Contents
“Incanto: An Oasis of Lyrical Sculpture,” an exhibit featuring five sculptures from New York City-based sculptor Kate Raudenbush and accompanying poetry by Sha Michele from the Burning Man community, will open to the public at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden in Lakeside Saturday, April 29.
A members-only preview will take place the previous day, April 28, from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Each piece was intentionally designed to be in dialogue with Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden’s landscape, according to Garden officials.
Dramatically lit from within, the Incanto sculptures offer multi-sensory experiences that are designed to invite further exploration at night.
Beginning Wednesday, May 3, the Garden will be open until 9 p.m. on Wednesdays through Saturdays until the end of October.
Raudenbush and Michele began collaborating at Burning Man after meeting there in 2000 and later creating Raudenbush’s first sculpture for the 2004 event. Raudenbusg has since become known for large-scale, allegorical works in laser-cut steel that form immersive, high-concept, experiential spaces for human connection. In her poems and art, Michele draws on her African-American, Native American and European ancestry to address questions of heritage, cultural definitions, longing, and belonging.
