The exhibit is at ArtsWestchester’s Peckham and Shenkman galleries at 31 Mamaroneck Ave. in White Plains through July 13. In the exhibit, artists examine one-square block in White Plains, and imagine creative public art projects for key locations.
“This invitational show was conceived as part of an ongoing conversation to re-examine the potential of downtown White Plains as a cultural destination,'' said exhibition curator Nazanin H. Munroe.
The 26 intriguing proposals represent the wide range of possibilities for public art in the city. Sculpture, landscaping, video projection, and murals are among the varied ideas to animate and enliven the streetscape. The exhibition features artist renderings of the potential artwork on site, as well as scale-models.
Brody provided bullet-point thoughts on her piece, "Four Figures Dancing:"
- Recurrent theme. Dance of life but all adults.
- Exaggerated parts but not sexual.
- Not particularly male or female.
- Lines in space but some volume too.
- References:
- my brothers
- runners.
- African figures.
- Matisse dancers.
- For surface: Giacometti
- Even the dichotomy between minimalism and rococo figures.
- Look for the looseness and gesture missing in more current work. Back to the very early studies from thesis.
More information is available on the ArtsWestchester website. ArtsWestchester is also encouraging people to participate in an online survey about public art.
