In his studio in New York City, French Canadian artist David Altmejd constructs The Vessel (2011) and The Swarm (2011), massive Plexiglass and plaster sculptures that Altmejd describes as “laboratories” within which he can experiment with different materials and ideas, contrasting images of menace with sensual tenderness.

Under the Influence
This playlist goes under the influence and explores the network of inspiration amongst artists. In conversation and often in admiration of each other’s approach and expression—erhaps leading to a collaboration or simply a workflow—everyone is encouraged to find guidance through an artist that speaks to their own sensibilities. “Just to see what sculpture can do,” says Liz Larner in admiration of Tony Smith’s “Smoke” (1967), “this I think is probably one of the greatest examples of that ever.”
