Thirty years on from Rosalind Krauss' seminal text Sculpture in the Expanded Field, a panel of artists and critics reconsiders the concept of the "expanded field" in light of contemporary art production. The discussion reflects upon how performative, discursive, and design models developed since the essay's publication may have shifted the formal, political, and semiological parameters of sculpture today.Presented by SculptureCenter in collaboration with the Vera List Center for Art and Politics.

As the one piece on the board that moves either forward or backward but always laterally in the same gesture, the knight's move is a tactical one, relying upon stealth, surprise, and sidelong views. This spring SculptureCenter presents a group exhibition that brings together artists prominent to the dialog of New York's recent past as well as those at the very beginning of their careers. Curated by Fionn Meade, this survey of new sculpture in New York embodies an informed yet playful and questioning view of the contemporary.

As a part of the Knight's Move Performance Program, stalwarts of the experimental music scene, the seven-member music collective No Neck Blues Band, also known as NNCK, punctuates the opening reception with inimitable grooves and ritual improvisation.
