Master blacksmith and world-renowned artist Albert Paley will present a survey of his inventive artwork, which spans four decades. Constantly aware of steel's properties, Paley is driven to push the metal beyond its inherent qualities, leading to a successful blurring of boundaries between art and architecture and craft and art. A special focus on the engineering challenges as well as the metallurgical and material science aspects of his monumental works will also be covered.

The Merton C. Flemings Materials Processing Lab and DMSE are honored for Albert Paley to give the inaugural Metal Arts Lecture on 02.11.16 @ 6:30 pm in 54-100 (the Green Building).
