He produced over 100 sculptures in the last four decades. BiographyRubinoff studied fine art in the United States and completed his Master of Fine Arts in 1969. Subsequently he returned to Canada to pursue his artistic career which included one man shows at the (Helen) Mazelow Gallery in Toronto, the Ontario Science Centre in Toronto, the Nathan Manilow Sculpture Park in Chicago, Queen's Park in Toronto, York University in Toronto, and Two Sculptors in New York.[1] In the early 1970s Rubinoff moved to a {{convert|200|acre|adj=on}} farm on Hornby Island in British Columbia, living and working on-site for the next four decades to create the majority of his work. His works range from human to monumental scale, and are created exclusively from welded or cast, stainless and CORTEN steel. Rubinoff creates all his sculptures unassisted, and his studio includes a one-man steel foundry, which makes it possible to cast the organic forms found in the later series. In addition to the sculpture, Rubinoff has designed many landscape alterations that have reshaped the farm to suit the exhibition of his sculpture.[1] During the 1990s Rubinoff focused on historical group exhibitions, including David Smith, Anthony Caro, Alexander Calder, Nancy Graves, Mark di Suvero, Tony Smith, George Rickey, Beverly Pepper, and Robert Murray.[1] With regard to the predominant art of his time Rubinoff has stated:
Mark Daniel Cohen[3] has written that Rubinoff is one of a rare group of sculptors who practice abstraction in the authentic form envisioned by the early Modernists:
Company of Ideas Forums at the Jeffrey Rubinoff Sculpture ParkIn May 2008 the farm on which Rubinoff has lived and worked for over four decades was inaugurated as the Jeffrey Rubinoff Sculpture Park (JRSP). The park was formally opened to the public with an Inaugural Forum entitled The Company of Ideas which became one of the annual activities of the park. At that forum he presented a series of prepared statements as part of the context of his artistic work.[5] Rubinoff has termed these statements "insights" which have evolved with and from his sculpture work, and which have been chosen as themes for discussion at the forums.[6] Among these insights, that of The End of the Age of Agriculture has been the most intensely debated by the various invited scholars.[7] As 2010 forum speaker Dr. Lawrence Badash,[8] Professor Emeritus of the History of Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara, stated:
Jeffrey Rubinoff Fellowship in Art as a Source of KnowledgeIn 2014 Churchill College, Cambridge University jointly established the Jeffrey Rubinoff Fellowship in Art as a Source of Knowledge with sculptor Jeffrey Rubinoff.[10] The Fellowship supports early career postdoctoral researchers working in the field of Art as a Source of Knowledge, with a focus on the visual arts. In addition to independent research and teaching, the role of the Rubinoff Fellow is to participate in the annual Jeffrey Rubinoff Sculpture Park Company of Ideas Forum on Hornby Island BC, Canada, as well as at associated events at Cambridge University.[11] In 2015 Vid Simoniti, who recently completed his doctoral thesis on ‘The Epistemic Value in Contemporary Art’ at the Ruskin School of Art, Oxford University, was selected to be first Rubinoff Fellow.[12] GalleryNotes1. ^1 2 Biography adapted from that listed in the description of the 2011 Yale University Forum on Art, War and Science Yale University Forum | About the Chairs|Jeffrey Rubinoff 2. ^Rubinoff's Introduction to the 2010 Company of Ideas Forum 3. ^The European Graduate School | Biography of Mark D Cohen, Professor of philosophy at the European Graduate School in Saas-Fee, Switzerland 4. ^1 The Historic Role and Significance of the Sculpture of Jeffrey Rubinoff Essay Full Text pp 3-4 5. ^See Background to the Company of Ideas JRSP Website | Background of the Company of Ideas 6. ^See Themes of the Company of Ideas JRSP Website | Themes of the Company of Ideas 7. ^See Company of Ideas Forum Proceedings 2008-2010 JRSP Website | COI Forum Proceedings 8. ^Dr. Badash UCSB Department of History Faculty page 9. ^Dr. Lawrence Badash, "Nuclear Winter and the End of the Age of Agriculture", Historia scientiarum, 2010, vol. 20, no2, pp. 150-163, History of Science Society of Japan, Tokyo 10. ^Phipps, Barry.
