Press Release
Tyrrell Winston in the studio
Library Street Collective is excited to announce our participation in Untitled Art 2024 Special Projects Sector (Booth SP4) in Miami, taking place from December 4th to 8th, 2024. The gallery will also have a group presentation in the exhibitor sector at Booth C13.
California-born, Detroit-based artist Tyrrell Winston transforms discarded objects into thought-provoking sculptures, exploring their hidden stories and embedded histories. Known for bridging sports and fine art, Winston is best recognized for his basketball wall sculptures, reconfiguring used basketballs into meticulously arranged compositions that highlight the objects’ past lives, challenging the idea of material insignificance in our transient world. Winston believes that forgotten objects retain both energy and meaning, serving as records of human experience.
Furthering his fascination with found materials, Winston repurposed outdoor bleachers in his work commissioned for the MSU Broad Art Museum, Everything is Won Before It Has Begun, bending aluminum into an industrial bouquet. By reimagining a sporting accessory as a modern monolith, the piece symbolizes resurrection, breathing new life into what was once discarded. Winston’s assemblages encourage reflection on permanence, connection, and the consequences of neglect, offering a poignant commentary on our relationship with the material world.
