SUMMARY:Alicja Kwade | ParaPosition Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:2025-2026 season opener\nExperience the opening of ParaPosition\, a remarkable sculpture by Alicja Kwade\, made of slim interlocking steel frames supporting four boulders and a blue chair made of bronze\, in celebration of Grace Farms’ 10 Year. \nAt 3 pm\, Kwade will join Grace Farms’ Chief Strategic Officer and Founding Creative Director\, Chelsea Thatcher\, for a conversation about her inspiration and the sculpture’s dialogue with our site and mission. \nAbout ParaPosition: \nParaPosition’s array of steel and stone draws viewers into the frame of this massive\, yet fragile\, universe. The substantial stones\, with their immense weight\, appear to defy gravity in an almost weightless balancing act. The chair beckons viewers to reflect on our relationship with the world and contemplate the fundamental nature of our existence. \n  \n“Alicja Kwade is approaching themes about society and human flourishing in the same spirit as we are at Grace Farms Foundation — imploring us to expand our perspective by asking questions. At Grace Farms\, we seek new outcomes on pressing humanitarian issues by breaking down silos and facilitating dialogue across sectors.” \n– Sharon Prince\, Grace Farms CEO and Founder \nImage courtesy the artist and 303 Gallery\, New York
