All Together

All Together takes a fresh look at still life. Our choice of plants and pottery, the way we arrange our furniture, the cultural markers of coffee cups and chocolate bars, and the symbolic nature of vases are explored. Artists Kate Gilmore, Karen Lederer, Polly Shindler, Paul Wackers, and Alex Yudzon combine humor and formal rigor to examine the importance and meaning of objects placed together. Curated by Tracy McKenna. On view in the Flinn Gallery October 25 - December 5. Take a look at some complementary reading from Library collections.
