Pelavin Gallery Presents A Field Guide to Getting Lost: Curated by Todd Masters
Thursday, May 26 · 6:00pm – 9:00pm
Pelavin Gallery, 13 Jay Street, New York, NY
In commemoration of the institution’s thirty year anniversary, Pelavin Gallery is proud to announce a group exhibition of gallery artists based on the cultural historian Rebecca Solnit’s book of essays, A Field Guide to Getting Lost. Using Solnit’s meditation on the pleasures and terrors of getting lost as a premise, this show seeks to present a collection of works which entices “the wideness of the world” and the virtues of being open to new and transformative experiences. Curated by Todd Masters with the intent of celebrating the gallery’s new diverse program, a variety of media will be shown;installation, wall drawing, mixed-media, painting, photography, drawing, sculpture, collage—and a number of gallery artists represented, including: Kate Beck, Jean-Paul Cattin, Tara Fracalossi, Patricia Gaeta, Dima Gavrysh, Karl Klingbiel, Norman Mooney, Timothy Paul Myers, Margaret Neill, Fiona Robinson, Mark Safan and Cecilla Vissers.
Such a powerful piece. Art galleries like Pelavin are one of the primary reasons to rent apartments in Manhattan. Interestingly I just became aware of the encaustic technique; fascinating. This show is on my list of “must-see”.
