The Tompkins County Public Library will celebrate the opening of its final major art exhibit of the year, “Some Things Considered: The Creativity of Hands and Feet,” Friday, November 5 from 5:00 to 8:00 PM.
Curated by William Benson, the exhibit features the work of artists Fernando Llosa, Kim Schrag, Pamela Rozelle Drix, Tim Merrick, Susanne Onodera, Rebecca Godin and Benson himself, and explores the countless artistic endeavors made possible by hands and feet.
“The criteria was fairly open ended - almost, but not quite, to the point of abstraction. Our feet are our mobility - taking the artist to sites of discovery or simply pacing the studio. Our hands put in form the ideas we wish to generate. Bipedal and opposing thumbs - here is, on a modest scale, how twenty digits form beautiful work,” Benson said.
The opening reception will be held in conjunction with Gallery Night and the Library’s celebration of Ten Years at Green Street. A curator’s talk by Benson will take place at 6:00 PM in the Library’s BorgWarner Community Room.For more information, contact Sally Grubb at sgrubb@tcpl.org or (607) 272-4557 extension 232.
