Plastic Cup With Lid And Straw
Art review: 'The Loop Show' at Beacon Arts Building
Broken furniture, empty cigarette packages, auto parts, old magazines, used aluminum foil, plastic cups, tattered clothing -- cast-off materials have been a staple for artists ever since industrial manufacturing, mass production and planned obsolescence began to leave growing piles of refuse along society's myriad thoroughfares. Along the way, artistic uses as diverse as metaphoric death, surrogacy for social marginalization, incisive formal analysis of creative singularity and even a simple do-gooder impulse for recycling have come into play. Conceptual art in the 1960s partly proposed that enough objects already exist in the world, eliminating the need for artists to make more. Trash to the rescue. At the Beacon Arts Building, a wide-ranging exhibition titled "The Loop Show" seems to propose -- at least indirectly -- that the Conceptual dictum is now second nature to artists working with throwaways. Some are as simple as John Luckett's straightforward photographic "portraits" of tattered chairs left for trash collection on city streets, although the images don't exude much personality. Adams' own suspended "tumbleweed" of shredded scrap paper is laminated for durability, yielding a wry take on vacuous materialism. (The shredded scrap paper takes the form of closed curves -- or, given the curatorial title, "loops.") Amy Drezner has fashioned a meditation circle of vocally chanting dolls, creepy for its reference to the socialization of children, while Elisabeth Higgins O'Connor contributes a larger-than-life puppet figure composed of textile scraps, related to the lumbering creatures in her current Chinatown show at Charlie James Gallery . Don Suggs builds tall, skinny, Brancusi-style "endless columns," one of alternately stacked plastic ashtrays and drinking cups that thrums with the long, slow repetitions of mundane contemplation over cigarettes and drink.Plastic Cup With Lid And Straw - News
