Handwerker Gallery at Ithaca College is pleased to present PRIME, a solo exhibition by Joan Linder. The show will be up from October 26 – December 7th and we will host an opening reception on Thursday, October 26th from 5 – 6:30pm. Linder will offer an artist talk in the Handwerker Gallery on November 9th at 6pm.
In our culture hyper-saturated by electronic imagery, Joan Linder uses the traditional materials of pen and bottled ink on paper to create life-size objects ad images. For her show PRIME at the Handwerker Gallery, Linder is re-creating packaging of everyday consumer objects. Shipping and logistics information is intertwined with corporate branding, all faithfully reproduced by hand. In Fulfill, mass-produced boxes and bags are reconsidered in an unconventional art installation pondering the objects and aesthetics we invite into our homes. The magnitude of material used briefly then discarded is readily apparent to anyone who has ever made purchases online. This exhibition of seemingly unlimited editions - with their relentless similarity – offers the false promise of infinite resources, a deception we can no longer afford to take for granted.
Monday, Wednesday – Friday: 10 am - 6 pm
Tuesday: closed
Saturday – Sunday: 12 – 5 pm
