Drawing on Minimalist and Land art of the 1960s and ’70s, Meg Webster has brought loose natural materials—such as soil, sand, and salt—indoors since the mid-1980s, shaping them into elementary sculptures of amplified concentration. Her body of work spans simple geometric volumes, gardens, and hydraulic and grow-light installations that may be sited within or outside the gallery.
This long-term presentation of Webster’s work features her signature concave and convex earthworks, which recently entered Dia’s collection, complemented by sculptures constructed in beeswax, moss, salt, and sticks. Presented in the galleries abutting the West gardens, the exhibition’s organic materials comprise an ecosystem where color, scent, and sound enter into dialogue with the natural elements outside. Shown alongside works by peers Michael Heizer, Donald Judd, and Richard Serra, among others, Webster’s sculptures bring a unique ecological perspective to the formal concerns that animate the art in Dia’s collection.
Meg Webster is curated by Matilde Guidelli-Guidi, curator and co–department head.
All exhibitions at Dia are made possible by the Economou Exhibition Fund.
Meg Webster is made possible by lead support from Their Excellencies Sheikh Jassim and Sheikha Al Mayassa Al-Thani.
