LABspace is very pleased to announce the opening of a sculpture
installation by the Louis Comfort Tiffany award-winning sculptor Michelle Segre
of Mount Washington, MA and New York, NY. Segre’s sculpture will be joined in
the exhibit with paintings by Erica Svec, who lives and works in Brooklyn. The
exhibition opens on Friday, July 10th with a reception for the
artists on Saturday, July 11th from 12-2pm. The exhibition closes
on Saturday August 8th. LABspace is located at 2642 NY Route 23 just west of NY
Route 22 in Hillsdale, NY.
Michelle Segre’s entirely singular and quirky
sculptures are created from an amalgam of craft materials such as string,
chenille stems and yarn along with quotidienne found objects such as her
child’s toys or dried mushrooms, all of which she combines with traditional
sculpture materials and armatures. The sculptures are giant energy sucking
super-nova amoebas (or 3-d representations of a kid’s drawings about such
things.)
Erica Svec created fresh and fierce paintings out
of her fascination with the mind's
ability to re- contextualize words, ideas, objects and images so that new
meanings evolve through narrative associations. The bold gestures and marks
making in her abstract paintings eventually reveal a surprising representation
of out of context combinations of everyday life objects.
LABspace, which recently moved to the Hillsdale
General Store building below CrossRoads Food Shop from a former location in
Great Barrington, MA, was founded and directed by the artist Susan Jennings.
The gallery is dedicated to experiments in curation, exhibiting
category-busting and/or materially surprising contemporary art, and hosting
performance art, screenings, readings and music that push the boundaries of
categorization, participation and/or experience.
The gallery is open Thursdays and Fridays from
1-6pm and Saturdays from 11am-6pm and by appointment via labspaceart@gmail.com.
