"Head to Toe" Exhibition
Governors Island
This event has ended.
14 Sculptors presents the exhibition, Head to Toe – Self Portraits at Governors Island Art Fair 2011. It is presented by 4Heads and will be located in Building 12, Section E, First Floor.
14 Sculptors Gallery was founded 37 years ago, one of the first galleries specifically devoted to contemporary sculpture. A landmark in SoHo, it is now functioning as an independent group exhibiting in universities and various public spaces. It has been selected for participation in the 4th Annual Governors Island Art Fair. Across from Governors Island is the Statue of Liberty. This public monument can be interpreted as a self portrait of Lady Liberty in an abstract way. Inspired by Lady Liberty’s symbol of welcome and greeting, the artists of 14 Sculptors Gallery have created images of themselves to introduce to the public. In this intimate indoor setting at the art fair, the sculptors choose to reveal parts of themselves, not necessarily dealing with their likenesses.
The artists express their individualism in dreams, fantasies and emotion. With the help of modern materials, past and present merge to give a more psychological autograph; this makes it possible for them to reach out and carry another kind of torch.
