“BEAUTIFUL NONSENSE : THE ABURD OBJECT” curated by artist Norm Magnusson of Rhinebeck, plays tricks on our perception of ordinary objects. The objects, seemingly familiar, demand an extra moment for t he viewer to absorb the absence of their functionality and to reinterpret the object. Picture this if you will, opera-length pink latex gloves with hundreds of straight pins protruding from the entire service (Eleanor White); pitch black wrought iron skillets in inconvenient shapes with multiple handles (Myra Mimlitsch –Gray); or a round, bright red ladder to nowhere (Steve Rossi).
“Where we lose balance we gain new perspectives” Norm Magnusson.
Selected artists are Jared Handelsman, Livia Marin, Myra Mimlitsch-Gray, Steve Rossi, Eleanor White, Jeff Newman, Joy Taylor and Chris Victor.

“KEVIN PAULSEN: WINTER THEOREMS” Kevin Paulsen of Kingston is a prolific artist and muralist whose work brings to mind the 19th century American Itinerant artists. The effortless movements and confidence with which he uses his materials creates a lush and beautiful atmosphere veiled eith dark mythology. Using only the simplest of tools such as a toothbrush, ink, charcoal and tape Paulsen’s brilliance shimmers.
