Artist Conversation with Malcolm D. MacDougall III

Artist Conversation | Malcolm D. MacDougall III

Sunday, October 17th
River Front Hangar west of 145 Palisade Street 3:00-4:30 pm
In-person: $15

In our ongoing effort to connect local artists with art lovers we are proud to present our next RiverArts Artist Conversation with sculptor, Malcolm D. MacDougall III live and in-person at his studio on the Dobbs Ferry waterfront on Sunday October 17th at 3pm. 

“We are thrilled to have another wonderful opportunity to gather this great community of art appreciators together to learn about this incredible local artist’s perspectives and process,” said Artist Conversation Producer, Marie-Louise Miller. 

MacDougall’s work transcends the physical. Led by the desire to capture the potential for movement in the objects around us and influenced by the world as seen through the lens of the microscope, Macdougall creates sculpture which leads the imagination to touch the sublime. 

Macdougall has seen two large scale works on display in NY City: “Conflicts of Growth” at Spring & Varrick in 2013 and “Microscopic Landscape” at Union Square Park in 2012. Said of his 2013 piece, Microscopic Landscape, It “is about potential energy and pushing a stagnant object as close to perceived movement as possible.”  

The sculpture serves as a snapshot of the ongoing activity in the neighborhood; it is a static object that maintains the constant anticipation of movement, just as the grounds of Union Square provide the framework for the energetic flow of people and commerce.”  City Atlas: New York

Locally, his sculptures, “Outcrops of Bacterial Growth” and “Eternal Conflicts of Growth” were displayed in Wagner Park and Kinally Cove of Hastings-on-Hudson respectively.  

“We are inviting a limited audience to come to Malcolm’s studio and participate in a wide-ranging conversation with the artist about the motivation and inspiration for choosing materials, his process for transforming objects into works of art, and what he looks forward to at this stage of his creative life,” says RiverArts’ Artistic Director, Kate Ashby. To support the safe appreciation of art, the live audience will be limited to 40.  We will also be recording this event and will offer this after the fact for $5.
