Von Rydingsvard’s work has been featured in the Venice Biennale and is held in the collections of some of the world’s great museums, including New York’s Museum of Modern Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. But she may be best-known for work in public spaces – imposing pieces painstakingly crafted with complex surfaces.In this documentary, we go behind the scenes with von Rydingsvard, as she and her collaborators – cutters, metalsmiths, and others – produce new work, including challenging commissions in copper and bronze. But the film also delves into the artist’s personal life, and how it has shaped her work. Born in Poland during the Second World War, she was partly raised in a displaced persons camp and came to the US as a refugee with her nine-person family. Her younger brother shares memories of being raised by their violent, domineering father – a man whose influence von Rydingsvard continues to feel. Brought up in a blue-collar environment, she became a teacher and then, as a single mother, moved to New York in the 1970s to take up her artistic practice full-time.In conversations with curators, patrons, family, and fellow artists, we come to know von Rydingsvard as a driven but compassionate sculptor with a deep commitment to her art and the world around her.&nbsp; Director: Daniel TraubProducers: Daniel Traub, Ken Kobland, Simon TaufiqueExecutive Producer:&nbsp; Morning SlayterEditors:&nbsp; Ken Kobland, Melody London Cinematographer: Daniel TraubMusic: Simon TaufiquePost-Production Supervisor: Michele Zarbafian ContactsPressNew York (Film Forum) Adam Walker | adam@filmforum.orgLA/SF/Regional (EG PR) Emma Griffiths | emma@eg-pr.com Distribution for US and Canada Icarus Films | Bob Hunter, Director of Exhibition | 32 Court Street, Floor 21, Brooklyn, NY 11201 USA&nbsp; | 718.488.8900 | bob@icarusfilms.com Distribution for Europe and Asia Poorhouse International | Heike Connolly, General Manager |&nbsp; 58 Broadwick Street, London W1F 7AL Tel. +44 (0)20 74368663 |&nbsp; heike.connolly@poorhouseintl.co.uk "Outstanding." –San Francisco Chronicle "Extraordinary!

Beginning with the creation of an unprecedented sculpture garden in the projects of North Philly that became known as "The Village of Arts and Humanities," the film also shows Yeh working in various far-flung locations, such as Kenya and Rwanda, where she teaches survivors of war and calamity to make murals and build sculptures drawn from their own experience. Working with Yeh on these projects, they are able to regain hope, a sense of purpose, and a belief that life can be about creation as well as destruction.

The installation features two monumental birds fabricated entirely from materials harvested from construction sites in urban China, including demolition debris, steel beams, tools, and remnants of the daily lives of migrant laborers. At once fierce and strangely beautiful, the mythic Phoenixes bear witness to the complex interconnection between labor, history, commercial development, and the rapid accumulation of wealth in today's China."
