OFF CAMPUS EVENTS The Architectural League of New York TUESDAY MAY 12 7 PM Ursula von Rydingsvard The Cooper Union Ursula von Rydingsvard is a sculptor based in Brooklyn. As noted by Galerie Lelong, the meaning behind her work is rooted in personal experience. “She creates large-scale sculpture from cedar beams which she cuts, assembles, and laminates, finally rubbing powdered graphite into the work’s textured, faceted surfaces. The artist’s respect for organic materials and the dignity of labor, sense of loss and pain, and the persistent memories that inform her work may be traced back to these formative experiences.” The Center for Architecture WEDNESDAY Speed Mentoring MAY 6 5:30 PM Developing a Network of Mentors FRIDAY A mentoring event modeled after "Speed Dating” with the goal of developing a network that provides support to professional women in the design, engineering, and construction industries.
