Curiosities, Oddments, and Gifts from Sailors

If you think contemporary art is just that, art in the here and now, and not much else, you ain't seen nothing yet. It can be prophetic, inspiring, menacing. www.eyeithaca.com On April 7th, artists Paul Chatem, Joshua Charles Hart, and Jim Garmhausen will open at eye gallery in Ithaca, NY. The group show, Curiosities, Oddments, and Gifts from Sailors, incorporates over 20 paintings and sculptures, all executed with a sharp wit that is provocatively folksy. Each international award-winning artist depicts a full-blown look at society, through somber yet kaleidoscopic lenses. Their surreal acuity is pitch-perfect to the curious world we find ourselves in today. The show runs from April 7 - 30th at eye Ithaca, on the Commons, 126 e. State St., 2nd floor. We are thrilled to have Harry Segal and Jason Violet back to play jazzy, edgy accompaniment on opening night, April 7th, beginning 5:30pm.
