Exhibition “Welcome Home/Shadow Home”

Visual artist Elizabeth Keithline invites you to Welcome Home/Shadow Home, an exhibition of wire sculptures and paintings with a component of public participation in the form of family-friendly shadow tracing sessions. Lightweight modular wire sculptures configured on the gallery floor cast shadow drawings on the walls of the gallery. The abstract shapes create a playful “memory” of skeletal, stacked wire beams and rafters. Light passes through the wire mesh to create organic, lacy ‘drawings’ that are ever-changing under the viewer’s hands as they are moved in the light.

During the run of the exhibition, the public is invited to participate in shadow tracing sessions on Saturdays and Sundays from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. Paper and pencils will be provided. Participants can either take their artwork home or contribute it to a gathering of drawings created during the exhibit.

Musicians Sal Cataldi & Jeff Keithline will create a live, site-specific improvisational music soundscape at the opening from 6:00 to 7:00 pm. They will draw inspiration from the artwork, as well as the themes of wire, color, and movement to create a sonic backdrop for the event.

Location: 340 East 64th Street

Time: 5:00 PM — 7:00 PM EDT
