Reclaimed Exhibition

Exhibition Dates: April 1st - April 26th, 2009
Reception: April 9th, 6-8pm, Juror Talk at 7pm

Reclaimed is an exhibition that focuses on everyday common objects that are reclaimed, recycled, reinterpreted and transformed into art. From Marcel Duchamp’s “ready-mades” to Robert Rauschenberg’s “combines”, artists have been for years recycling and reclaiming everyday common objects and transforming them into something new and unique. The jurors for this exhibition are gallery owners and collectors, a husband and wife team, Steven and Linda Krensky. Out of 470 entries, congratulations to the 34 chosen!
