Edward Mayer

Edward Mayer received an MFA from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Mayer began teaching sculpture in 1970 at Ohio University in Athens and has continued to teach (since 1983) at the State University of New York, Albany, where he heads the Sculpture Department. His temporary, site-specific installations deal with notions of structure, permanence, and form in sculpture. He was chosen to create a site-specific sculpture installation on the Buffalo State College campus by the Burchfield Art Center in 1988. He has had solo exhibitions and installations in Rhode Island, New York, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and New Mexico, as well as Brazil.
