Opening reception Sunday, October 14th 7-10pm

Wayfarers presents an exhibition of painting, drawing, sculpture and writing by Jerstin Crosby, Cyrus Egon, Siobhan McBride, Clayton Schiff, Polly Shindler and Bradley Wood.

ROMPER ROOM is co-curated by Renee Delosh and Craig Hein, both artist members at Wayfarers.

Here is our noble attempt at a press release and for this we are very sorry. All art can be seen essentially as a form of ‘play’. It may masquerade as something much more austere, frame itself in a political context, or claim to give a deeper understanding of humanity. Ultimately though, its value comes out of its frivolousness. The artists in this show make work that is explicitly playful, whether through treatment of subject matter or else as part of their creative process.
Bradley Wood’s canvases give us a window into the imagined lives of his wealthy neighbors, lampooning their leisurely extravagance with rich brushstrokes. Siobhan McBride also paints versions of reality in her interiors, landscapes and still lives. She looks inward to how the sleeping mind interprets and connects fragments, creating fictions through flashes of memory.
Clayton Schiff’s interest in perception, logic and repetition takes shape in his aerial views of maze-like, imagined landscapes. The primitive, abstract forms in Polly Schindler’s paintings possess a balance of restraint and spontaneity, creating forms that feel as if they can be read like forgotten symbols.
Whether through his distilled, black and white drawings or his childhood memoirs, Cyrus Egon reveals the comedy that can exist in simple objects and truth-telling. Jerstin Crosby’s sculpture examines the vastness of the universe and the incomprehensibility of death through the lens of a pizza.
Please come to our show as we have worked very hard at having it. Bye TTFN word count 345 not counting 345 not counting 345 not counting 345 not counting 345 not counting

This Sunday, August 12, 7-10pm at Wayfarers, 1109 Dekalb Ave. between Malcolm X and Broadway:

Wayfarers presents an exhibition of painting, installation, sculpture works by Ana Lieberman, Celeste Pfau and Hannah Wides. Stroking, germinating, and whittling the works into the world, this show unabashedly emphasizes the joy and lust of art making. Much like an invasive Japanese vine, a balloon blown taught, or the elastic nature of a young cat’s body, these artists propose unfamiliar manifestationsof power, strength and generous pleasure.

One may expect to experience a combination of works that are reminiscent of a twig-legged bird standing atop a tree stump, carpeted in green moss – or - dried leaves and old buds float in an inflatable swimming pool under the thick-barked sapping tree – or – a thick, cylindrical stack of pancakes leaning to one side, black juices from the mulberries running down the sides and puddling on a delftware plate.

Sap, Straddle and Joy is curated by Lena Takamori, a peer to the artists and a pal within the Wayfarers community. 

Works will be on exhibit August 12^th – September 2^nd

Gallery hours Saturday and Sunday 12 – 6 pm.
