Toothsome
In 'Castle', the character of myself recreates a narrative of a failed attempt at love. She builds a castle using sugar, melted into sheets of lollipop to build a living place as ideal as the extremity of sugar. The structure is not very strong and I expect it to melt and warp, perhaps mirroring the attainability of the ideal. Though the piece is unpredictable, I plan on building it during the opening of the show. The structure will morph on its own accord for the remainder of the exhibition.

"Toothsome" brings together artists that work with sugar, honey and candy. Rather than being turned off by the materials' inherent susceptibility to humidity, time, and vermin, the artists instead explore its seductive qualities, its loaded history and its metaphorical possibilities. Sculptures, installations and videos touch upon such varied topics as housing insecurity, consumption, the industrial food complex, while also addressing formal issues of sugar and its unique material qualities.
Organized by Vandana Jain
Participating Artists:
Jenn Berklich, Johanna Bartelt, Marcy Chevali, Lisa Dahl, Vandana Jain, Christina Kelly, Anna Miller, Yuka Otani, Kerianne Quick
Gallery Hours:
Wed and Thurs: 5-7pm
Sunday: 2-4pm
or by appt: abc@abcnorio.org
Exhibition supported in part by the New York State Council on the Arts and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.

Right Here Over There
March 23 – May 13, 2012
Lexington Artists League
Right Here Over There is an exhibition exploring the physical, mental, and metaphoric landscapes of place and their indelible link to memory. Throughout our lives we are surrounded by a world punctuated by varying spaces, climates, geographies, buildings, and cultures. Accumulating in layers over time, pieces of our physical world provide visual reference points for how we understand one another and ourselves. Curated by Becky Alley
