“Correspondence” Exhibition
Westbeth Gallery
This event has ended.
Exhibition of Artworks Inspired by Fifty Years of Letters and Postcards.
CORRESPONDENCE presents works by forty visual and performing artists inspired by letters and postcards written to Steve Clorfeine, the creator and curator of the exhibition, over a period of fifty years.
The works include painting, sculpture, collage, video, photography, film, installation and performance.
Spanning multiple generations and cultural backgrounds, the artists incorporate selections from the original correspondence materials into their chosen format and perspective to create works that reference the time-honored practice of exchanges of written words and images. The art of correspondence – sensory, temporal, tactile, aesthetic, imaginative – is interpreted and presented in 40 different ways of seeing.
The project was in part conceived and developed during a residency fellowship from the Vermont Studio Center in 2014. CORRESPONDENCE represents the culmination of the project.
