ARTIST BIO
Gary Kulak
Born in Pittsburgh, I received my BFA from Cranbrook Art Academy in 1975. I began exhibiting in New York in 1980 and attended Hunter College receiving my MFA in 1983. I was studio assistant for Lyman Kipp and fabrication manager for Alice Aycock before returning to Detroit in 1985. I taught at the University of Toledo and EMU until 1992 and served as artist in residence/faculty at Cranbrook-Kingswood from 2005-2020. I produced several large-scale public works nationally. I have collaborated on architectural projects and began working with digital design in 1990 and robotic carving in 2016.
Fractal Decimation was created from a digital CAD file that I created using scanning technology to begin the process then I digitally modified the form using Autodesk Meshmixer, Mesh Lab, and Autodesk 3DS Max then exported the STL File. The file was sent via Dropbox to my colleagues in Italy where the robotic carving of the form took place. Following 25 Hours of robotic stone carving, I spent the next month refining the form by hand for the exhibition. The work is 40” x 20”x20” carved from marble.
