Found: The Sculpture of Randall Cleaver
March 12 – 29, 2024
Gallery Hours:
Tues/Wed/Thurs 2 – 8 pm
Fri 11 am – 4 pm
Sun 1 – 5 pm
Randall Cleaver creates sculptures and automata from found objects. Using an intuitive working style, he is inspired and guided by the found objects. He begins with a germ of an idea, uncovers relationships between parts, and allows the form of the object to respond to these discoveries. He enjoys seeing the amusement and surprise of viewers as they discover the various components, interact with the animation, see the glow of the lights, or hear the clocks activate on the hour.
Cleaver earned a BFA in sculpture from Penn State University. As a sculpture student it was a natural thing to scour salvage yards and rubbish piles for art supplies, and this attitude of reuse and adapting existing parts still plays a major role in his pieces today. He expanded his skills at the School of Horology, where he learned to construct mechanisms for his kinetic sculptures.

The Student Artist Guild, a dedicated student organization that promotes cultural enrichment for the campus and larger community, oversees organizing the event. Prizes will be awarded that will celebrate the participants’ exceptional talent and hard work.
The gallery will hold the reception and award ceremony on Wednesday, March 27, from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. (Award announcing 4-4:40).
