JANUARY EXHIBITIONS
OPENS THU JAN 7 - ON VIEW JAN 7-28
Christie Fifer’s paintings and sculptures revolve around
books - their history & their contents - all woven together
with puns, puzzles, and didactic intent to both amuse and
encourage conversation. Still life paintings of precariously
stacked first editions are simultaneously realistic and surreal,
prompting extended investigation. Leaping from the
canvas, Fifer’s sculptures utilize actual books suffering from
wear or neglect that have been repurposed to create playful
and thoughtful sculptures in search of their own Renaissance.

DAVID DUNN
CREATURES OF THE DEEP
ZABAR LOBBY GALLERY
Dunn is known for his ability to turn
anything— bike chains, tools, bolts—
into primordial creatures. His latest
series has him repurposing metal
castoffs into imaginative representations
of the beasts who rule the ocean
depths.
Binard’s portraits combine painting
with ceramic and mixed media to comment
on the tension between one’s
identity in the eyes of others, and the
one we choose ourselves. Intensely
personal, the pieces touch on Binard’s
racial and cultural history.
