Lawrence Berzon: The Myth of Performance

Lawrence Berzon has always been a storyteller. The evolution of his work is a progression from the graphic novel to multi-frame painting. Then sculpted frames were added to the paintings, and ultimately frames were created within the image. These frames inside the image eventually evolved to become dioramas. Then the dioramas began to move and became kinetic sculptures.

Building Treehouses, Sparking Wonder

NOTES FROM THE WORKING CLASS: The Silence of the Dutch

The sun seemed to hide behind the clouds. Life did not stir for two minutes.

The two-minute silence was meant to commemorate Liberation Day—The Netherlands’ liberation from the Nazis eighty years ago.
