Your Personal Hang-ups Hardback
by The Center for Art in Wood
Hardback
Description
“I am interested in your personal hang-ups: Not your lifetime neuroses but your (ideal) hat, coat and/or clothes tree or hanger, wall hooks, free standing pole, rack, stand or small wall system.
With this invitation Gail M. Brown, an independent curator, challenged artists to create inventive forms for an exhibition at The Center for Art in Wood in Philadelphia.
The resulting sculptures by 38 artists ranged from a straightforward coat rack to a four-foot apartment house riding on a fish, from a scepter-like paean to Joan Miro to a “four eyes nun-backed chair,” and from a bird house to a wall-mounted seat and desktop.
The artists used a wide range of woods, from the ordinary to the exotic, as well as rubber, steel, and gold-plated brass.
The works project grace, intelligence, whimsy, humor, and serious craft.
