Outlooks: Elaine Cameron-Weir

For Storm King’s annual Outlooks exhibition series, Canadian artist Elaine Cameron-Weir will present a new site-specific installation at Storm King. When experiencing Nancy Holt’s Sun Tunnels (1973-76) in the Utah desert, the artist noticed motorcycle tracks throughout the cement cylinders that sparked an association between stunt riding and repurposing of landscape.

This exhibition will include a large-scale sculptural form inspired by a “Globe of Death,” a large spherical structure used in motorcycle circus stunt performances in which riders dangerously orbit one another.
