"Window Hopping"

 

 

Stuart Rapeport Curator

"As the curator of the exhibition in the Homestead House Building's showroom windows I had a vision of the windows used as art installations reflecting the buildings previous life of a large retail furniture store.

 

I brought this idea to Liza Simone who agreed to allow me to act as a curator for the space. I invited several artist to participate expressing my vision of the installations and then let express themselves as they chose.

Some of the artists used the Homestead House as inspiration others used it as a jumping off point. The exhibition includes:

• Ester Petschar's installation "Frida's Closet",

• Barry Markowitz takes on the "Barcelona Chair"

• Rebeca Guerrero’s installation "Living with Art "

• Michael Stork's "Jewelry Store Diamonds",

• Stan Edmonson's "untitled, Shopping Cart"

• Tim Quinn's "Universe"

• Tod Lychkoff’s “Shredded”

• RJ Lee's view of track homes "Shelter"
