mixed media sculptures by Michael Aurbach.

Closing reception: and brief gallery talk: 6 - 8 pm. February 18, 2010.

Michael Aurbach is an artist and professor at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. His socially inspired works have been exhibited throughout the United States. For more than two decades Aurbach’s sculpture addressed issues related to death, identity, and the plight of socially disenfranchised groups. Much of his recent work serves as commentary on academia, secrecy and institutional behavior.

Aurbach has received numerous grants and awards. The National Endowment for the Arts, the Southern Arts Federation, the Tennessee Arts Commission, Art Matters Inc, the Puffin Foundation, and Vanderbilt University are among the institutions and foundations that have provided support for his work. In 1995, Aurbach was honored with the Southeastern College Art Conference Award for Outstanding Artistic Achievement.

In 2001, Aurbach was honored with the inaugural exhibition of contemporary art at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts in Nashville, TN.
