From the Sculpture Space website:
Detroit-born and New York State based artist Jeff Gibbons is the selected long-term resident for the 2024-25 season. Jeff's distinct approach to art, blending personal narrative with broader societal themes, makes him an exemplary figure to drive forward our commitment to fostering innovative and meaningful sculptural practices.
Tom Montan, the Executive Director of Sculpture Spaces, expressed his enthusiasm about Jeff's upcoming residency, stating, "Jeff embodies a strong sense of exploration and robust maker energy that is essential for the transformative experiences we aim to support through our program." Montan is particularly excited about the dynamic Jeff will bring to the community, anticipating that his unique artistic approach and commitment to process will resonate deeply within and beyond the Sculpture Spaces community.
Jeff will be in residence from October 2024 through June 2025, a period during which he will bridge several shorter-term residencies, providing continuity and a unique perspective that spans these diverse artistic cycles. His artistic journey from his blue-collar roots in Detroit to establishing a vibrant presence in the Dallas art scene has consistently used his background as a rich source of inspiration, making the ordinary extraordinary and the personal universal.

The billboard format requires the contemporary artist to address a wide general audience and engage unsuspecting passersby with great visual clarity. September 19 - October 2, 2024
