The INS and the OUTS, curated by Amy Lipton, includes the work of six artists who are investigating abstract sculptural forms with an emphasis on surface and material. The participating artists, Susan Benarcik, Jennifer Cecere, Ruth Hardinger, Larissa Killough, Melissa McGill, and Leslie Pelino, use materials ranging from concrete and plaster to fabric, with a variety of rough, smooth, hard and soft textures. They also make use of found objects such as plaster molds, food packaging containers, metal clothes hangers, lace, nylon, rope and used clothing.

The exhibition takes place outdoors at the Katherine Conner Sculpture Park @ RoCA, where the works will interact with the landscape by mingling with the surrounding natural features. The trees, grounds, and sky will provide a backdrop or context for the works, thereby creating new spatial relationships for viewers' to contemplate.
