RICHARDSON, Texas (Sept. 16, 2003) – The
University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) will present an exhibition of large, three-dimensional installations
by sculptress Phyllida Barlow in the Visual Arts Building on campus from Oct. 10 to Nov. 15.

A reception will be held in connection with the exhibition
in the building’s Main Gallery on Friday, Oct. 17, from 6:30 to 9 p.m.

” The dynamics of the location of the work in relationship to the viewer aspires to engage with and revitalize our experience
and knowledge of things through the interplay of an emphasis on common, low-tech materials and edited, abbreviated references,
which invite associations but resist definition,” Barlow has said about her work. “The thickly painted surfaces
are essential to the work’s physicality and its artifice, demanding that it be experienced in the here and now. Sculpture
for me has been ephemeral and temporary, and dominating my experience has been an experimental approach to making and exhibiting.”

All UTD art exhibitions are free and open to the public.
The Visual Arts Building is open Mondays to Fridays from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. and on Saturdays from
9 a.m. to 6 p.m. It is closed on Sundays.
