"Small" World

Pulling "Small Potatoes" together has been a joyous experience mostly because of the weird and wonderful process of collecting the works of artists from all over the place geographically, aesthetically, and demographically.  There are over 20 artists represented in the show, and we have tried our best to create a context in which all their sculptures, drawings and paintings have a way to both blend into, and benefit from, the surroundings.  In short, we built a nest for these small works.  We also noticed that the "smallness" adds a domestic quality to the space, as if the gallery has been transformed into a giant curio cabinet.  Sometimes The Curio Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, other times Mother Hubbard's cupboard.  

Thanks to all the artists who have work in the show:  David Gerbstadt, David Jarred, Katherine Ziff, Rebecca Henderson, Ervin Henderson, Robert McFate, Antonio Adams, Eric Fellner, Andrey Kazakov, Samantha Messer, Carlos Jesus Perez, Alex Bartenberger, David Wagel, Jr., Emily Brandehoff, Gena Grunenberg, Dale Jackson, Mary Vista, Brian Dooley, Cathy Dailey, Fedrick D. Bullocks, Jr.,, and Stevie Grueter.
