Sculptor Myron Helfgott, whose works are on display through March 31 in Sweet Briar College’s Babcock Gallery, will give an artist’s reception and gallery talk from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Friday, March 28.

Helfgott, professor emeritus at Virginia Commonwealth University where he and his colleagues elevated the Department of Sculpture and Extended Media to national prominence, often uses audio, electric motors, video, photography and assemblage in his works. In recent years, he has been influenced by authors and filmmakers he admires, frequently incorporating their favored literary devices into his art.

Helfgott is exhibiting two sculptures, “Tyranny of the Theoretical” and “A Conversation with Max Frisch” in the gallery. Both incorporate audio recordings. He also is showing a series of “non-fiction” drawings inspired by the writings of Enrique Vila-Matas.

Art gallery hours are 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday, Monday and Friday, and 1 to 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. For information, please contact rmlane@sbc.edu or call (434) 381-6248
