The Nasher’s ongoing speaker series features conversations and lectures on the ever-expanding definition of sculpture and the minds behind some of the world’s most innovative artwork, architecture, and design.  

Glynn’s handmade sculptural objects, installations for collaborative participatory performances, and architectonic monuments crafted with minimal means are positioned at the intersection of contemporary art’s most challenging operations: site-specificity, institutional critique, performativity, and public engagement.

“Glynn is one of the most interesting sculptors working in Los Angeles right now. She’s not just making sculptures; she is activating them so they become mass gathering spaces.” --Cecilia Alemani, curator of Frieze Projects
