CURRENT EXHIBITION
Through February 5, 2010
The Arts Council of Greater New Haven presents Out of
House and Home, an exhibition curated by Debbie Hesse
and Joy Pepe that explores the comforts and securities of
home and the uncertainties and anxieties brought to bear by
the recent mortgage crisis, record foreclosures, and plummeting
real-estate values.
The exhibition will be on display at The Parachute Factory,
Erector Square, 319 Peck St., Bldg. 1, New Haven, from Tuesday,
October 27, 2009 through Friday, February 5, 2010. An
artists’ reception is scheduled for Tuesday, October
27, from 5-7pm. The public is invited to attend.
During the artists' reception Listen Here! will perform
short thematic readings from 5:30-6pm and New Haven Improvisers
Collective will provide live music from 6:30-7pm.
Out of House and Home (the second of a two-part exhibition,
Work/Place, which explores the environments on which
our survival depends) examines the places that friends and
family, neighbors, strangers, and the otherwise invisible
call home.
Participating artists, whose work takes us from the comforts
of home to the struggle for survival in the most primitive
of shelters, include Tim Applebee, Roland Becerra, Ron Dunhill,
Lucas Foglia, Elaine Kaufmann, Jaime Kriksciun, Thomas Lail,
Yelizaveta Masalimova, Denise Minnerly, David Ottenstein,
Anne Percoco, and Cindy Tower.
The Parachute Factory is a collaboration of the Arts Council
of Greater New Haven, Yale Program for Recovery and Community
Health, and Community Services Network of Greater New Haven.
Out of House and Home is presented by The Parachute Factory
in partnership with Columbus House. The Parachute Factory
hours are Wednesday, 10am-2pm; Thursday and Friday, 12-5pm;
and by appointment.
