Opening June 13
5 - 8 PM
In a selection of work by twenty contemporary artists, FUN HOUSE will feature painting, prints, drawings, and kinetic sculptures that incorporate video, light, and sound. The exhibition will explore the illusory qualities of the fun house’s vibrant, shifting interior. There will be a visual gameplay between a variety of media to transform the gallery space into a multi-dimensional environment. With an underlying sense of humor, FUN HOUSE will embody the spirit of collective optimism.
It will present contemporary artists who share an affinity for color and playfulness: Gomez Bueno, Claire Burbridge, Ira Cohen, Moki Cherry, Cherie Benner Davis, Robert Fronk, Peter Halley, Roger Jones, Diane Landry, Jim Pernotto, Grayson Perry, Kirk Mangus, Ed Moses, Alan Rath, Taro Suzuki, TODT, Kenny Scharf, Judi Stern, USCO, and Jody Zellen.
