The Myth of
Singularity (2014) is a suite of eight bronze sculptures by Los Angeles-based
artist Liz Glynn, produced from plaster props generated during the performance
The Myth of Singularity (after Rodin), which took place at LACMA in 2013. At
that time, Glynn embarked on [de]-lusions of Grandeur, a cycle of performances
that unfolded in five chapters throughout the year. Glynn conducted extensive
research on the works of August Rodin, Alexander Calder, Richard Serra, David
Smith and Donald Judd in our collections to respond to the process of creating,
moving, and erecting large-scale sculptures, and the frequently Herculean
efforts necessary to do so.
The first
performance, The Myth of Singularity (after Rodin) featured Glynn working in
LACMA’s B. Gerald Cantor Sculpture Garden for two consecutive days (January 19
and 20, 2013). Assisted by a group of ten sculptors, Glynn explored in this
performance the process of replication, recombination, and shifts in material
and scale often used by Rodin in producing works later regarded as singular
acts of brilliance.
