State Fair – Socrates Sculpture Park

Unfortunately my post frequency has slowed down, but hey  I have to work too. At least until the next mega millions drawing. Anyway, this past weekend I went out to the Socrates Sculpture Park in Queens and enjoyed some fun interesting work.  The current exhibition entitled State Fair which includes artists, Margarita Cabrera, Jennifer Cecere, Emily Feinstein, Charles Gute, Jeanine Oleson, Risa Puno, Dana Sherwood &, The Black Forest Fancie, Stephen Shore, Jason Simon, William Stone, Bernard Williams. Stupidly I got so caught up in enjoying the work, the sun, and the nice breeze that I forgot to note whose work is whose, so you’ll just have to check it out for yourself.

Curated by Alyson Baker, Mark Dion and Marichris Ty, State Fair is a group exhibition themed around American rural life and uses the platform of the state fair as a means to examine topics such as animal husbandry, specialized horticulture, small scale farming, culinary arts, and the pageantry within these fields that occurs at fairgrounds across the country. The show will also incorporate work that references traditional craft, and the myriad of amusements, rides, competitions and entertainment that are presented as part of state fairs.
