Tenterhooks: Sculpture and Installation by Sarah Kusa

Exhibition on view: Jan. 16-Feb. 14, 2025
Artist’s talk: Thursday, Jan. 16, 5:00 pm in the Stone Auditorium 
followed by a reception at 6:00 pm in the Carroll Gallery 
Sponsored by the Sandra Garrard Memorial Lecture Fund 

Sarah Kusa will be presenting a body of work entitled Tenterhooks in the Carroll Gallery, a title that evokes, in her words, “a version of uneasiness, suspense, anticipation, and anxiety.” Her mixed-media artwork is “rooted in abstraction and uses a spare visual language to ask questions about being in the world with human limitations.” Sarah’s forms range from abstract bodies to three-dimensional drawings in space, and her show in the Carroll Gallery will also feature a video installation addressing anxiety. Sarah Kusa has exhibited her work throughout the United States and has received the McKnight Fellowship in Fiber Arts, the Jerome Foundation Fellowship for Emerging Artists, a Jerome Foundation Fiber Artist Project Grant, and the McKnight Next Step Fund. She has participated in residencies at MASS MoCA, the University of Minnesota’s Institute for Advanced Study, and Ragdale. She lives and works in Saint Paul.
