SUMMARY:Artist-Led tour of Sheila Pepe's "My Neighbor's Garden" at Madison Square Park
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a tour of “My Neighbor’s Garden” with artist Sheila Pepe on November 9 at Madison Square Park. Brooke Kamin Rapaport\, Artistic Director and Martin Friedman Chief Curator\, will introduce the artist and her first outdoor exhibition. “My Neighbor’s Garden\,” places colorful and optimistic canopies of crocheted material\, as well as unexpected materials including paracord\, shoelaces\, outsize rubber bands\, and climbing vines\, and extends from the park’s extant physical structures such as light poles. In the months preceding the exhibition\, Pepe gathered novice and expert crocheters at her Brooklyn studio for crochet sessions towards the fabrication of the project. Pepe will speak about the project\, offer insights into the collaborative process\, as well as situating the exhibition within the context of her career as a whole. The event will wrap up with a Q&A.Press coverage of the exhibition: \n\n\n\n\nThe New York Times\n\n\n\nNY1 News\n\n\n\nWNYC\n\n\n\nThe Brooklyn Rail \n\n\n\nWFUV and the What’s What Podcast\n\n\n\n\nSpecial thanks to Truth Murray-Cole for spearheading this event! \n\n\n\nAdmission: \n\n\n\n\nArtTable Members – $15\n\n\n\nMember Guests – $25\n\n\n\nPublic – $30\n\n\n\n\nNot a member?
