Just the Thing!: The Object in Contemporary Outdoor Sculpture

The indoor gallery exhibits at the DeCordova Museum are of such high quality that it’s often easy to overlook the fact that the grounds of the Museum are also an exhibition space. In addition to the permanent collection of sculptures that are always on display, the DeCordova presents a temporary, year-long exhibition called ‘Just the Thing!: The Object in Contemporary Outdoor Sculpture’, featuring works that incorporate everyday objects like furniture, clothing, household appliances and jewelery, by a dozen artists, including Meredith Bergmann, Shaun Cassidy, Ed Shay, and Leslie Wilcox.
