Opening reception for artwork by Graham Parker and Joe Winter
Tue Dec 8, 6PM to 9PM

Please join us for a reception to mark the addition of two new artworks to the Marian Spore collection, both of which use light as a raw material.

For his series ‘Notes for a History of Light’, presented as a work in-progress, Joe Winter shines ordinary lamps on colored paper over long periods of time, resulting in delicate abstract compositions as the pigment deteriorates over time. Graham Parker’s ‘Kid Weil’ consists of a neon sign hanging above a reflecting puddle. The text of the sign is appropriated from the subject line of a spam email, which originated as a 19th-century slang term. That term, ‘cacklebladder,’ describes a prop used by 19th century grifters to fake their own death.

Drinks and light refreshments will be available on a voluntary donation basis.

Transit: the N and D will run express on Tue 8 Dec. Marian Spore is near the 36 St. stop on the N or D one express stop from Atlantic Ave in Brooklyn.
