Her sculptural works are primarily composed of blooming arrangements of large rigid objects such as televisions, small appliances, camping and construction trailers, hot water heaters, mattresses, airplane parts, rowboats, kayaks, canoes, surfboards, and other objects. Works such as Big Edge at CityCenter in Las Vegas contain over 200 boat vessels. Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Monochrome I, Built to Live Anywhere, at Home Here, at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, contains 66 used aluminum boats and rises to a height of 30 ft.[2] Early life and careerRubins was born in Naples (Texas). Her family moved to Cincinn before settling in Tullahoma, Tennessee.[3] She studied at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, Maryland, where she received her BFA in 1974, and then at the University of California, Davis where she received her MFA in 1976. Rubins taught at Virginia Common Wealth University and Florida State University in Tallahassee before moving to New York. In New York, along with teaching she ran a house painting business.[3] Rubins currently resides in Topanga, California and taught at the University of California, Los Angeles from 1982 to 2004. WorkIn college Rubins worked primarily with clay, creating igloo-like sculptures out of mud, concrete, and straw.[4] She was inspired by the work of Peter Voulkos and Robert Arneson[3]. She ended up at UC Davis finishing her MFA and studying with Arneson.[3] Rubins avoided the characteristic permanence of ceramics with the constant disassembling of sculptures, collapsing her work back into the slip bucket or back into raw scraps. Her 1974 piece, "Mud Slip, Army-Surplus Canvas and Used Cups from Coffee Machine" combined found materials with wet clay; it lasted only as long as the clay stayed wet. Her creation of unlikely assemblages grew as she began to incorporate more detritus and found materials into her work.[5] After college, Rubins taught night classes at City College of San Francisco and scavenged the local Goodwill and Salvation Army stores in San Francisco, where she was living at the time, collecting nearly 300 television sets for 25 to 50 cents a piece.[6][3] In 1977 she taught for a year at Virginia Commonwealth University where she started working with used appliances.[3] Rubins was privately commissioned to create her first public installation in 1980. "Big Bil-Bored" was a highly controversial artwork, voted "Ugliest Sculpture in Chicago" in a radio poll. Constructed of various discarded appliances, the installation towered forty-three feet high outside of the Cermak Plaza shopping center in Berwyn, Illinois. Big Bil-Bored Soon after, Rubins was offered a commission for another public installation. In 1982, the Washington Project for the Arts funded Rubins's Worlds Apart,[7] a forty-five foot tall temporary installation composed of abandoned appliances, concrete and steel rebar. Her work overlooked the Whitehurst Freeway, blocks from the Watergate Building in Washington D.C., and again caused controversy.[8] The sculpture was taken down as soon as the permit expired.[3] While in Washington Rubins was contacted by artist Charles Ray to teach at UCLA where she met Chris Burden.[3] Rubins is perhaps best known for building sculptures out of salvaged airplane parts, such as an installation in 1995 for the Museum of Modern Art in New York; the piece weighed nearly 10,000 pounds.[9] [10]Already by the mid-1980s she had begun regularly using abandoned airplane parts in her work. Her contact for the plane parts was Bill Huffman in the Mojave desert.[3] For durability, she chose aluminum, fiberglass and composites rather than wood.[11] Rubins collaborated with husband Chris Burden on a number of projects, including an installation called A Monument to Megalopolises Past and Future at Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE) in 1987. In the late 1980s Rubins started working with discarded mattresses which were inspired by pastries she saw in Vienna - both relate to dreams in her mind. In 1993 she made a sculpture of cakes and mattresses at UCLA. It was shown at Paul Kasmin Gallery in New York[3] Boats entered Rubins' sculptural vocabulary in 2000s.[12] Nancy Rubins also started working with assembling discarded cast- aluminum playground structures. Most of these structures were built out of melted down WWII materials. These pieces were shown at the Gagosian gallery in 2014.[13] Aside from sculpture, Rubins is known for her large scale graphite drawings which resemble lead sheets.[3][14] ExhibitionsRubins's work has been shown internationally. Her solo museum exhibitions include those hosted by Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego (1994); The Museum of Modern Art, New York (1995); ARTPACE, San Antonio (1997); Miami Art Museum (1999); Fonds regional d'art contemporain de Bourgogne, France (2005); SculptureCenter, Long Island City, New York (2006); Lincoln Center, New York (2006); and Navy Pier, Chicago (2013).[15] In 1993, Rubins was invited to participate in the Venice Biennale. She was included in the Whitney Biennial that same year.[16] Selected Solo Exhibitions
