Glimmering Gone, October 23, 2010 – March 11, 2012
Ingalena Klenell and Beth Lipman collaborated on Glimmering Gone, an installation, on view at the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Washington. This exhibition uses landscape and artifacts to investigate our connection with nature and collective and personal memory. Glimmering Gone uses glass to encourage desire, allude to life's transience, and describe the unattainable.
The Tool at Hand, December 8, 2011–April 1, 2012
The Tool at Hand brings together artworks resulting from an unusual and slightly eccentric experiment. Last spring the Chipstone Foundation invited fourteen contemporary artists to break from their usual practice and make a work of art with one tool alone. This exhibition presents these works, and the tools used to craft them, together with short, explanatory videos produced by each artist. The exhibition showcases the wonder of the process of making and, at the same time, sparks an important conversation about the nature of skill, production, and tool use today.
One and Others, Jan. 18, 2012 - May 27, 2012
The still life, One and Others, is a site-specific installation commissioned by the Norton Museum of Art. It is a composite "portrait" of the museum, an early settler to Palm Beach, Richard Hone, and the artist. The work includes pineapple flowers, leaves, and fruit, gazing balls from David Teniers the Younger's The Interior of a Nobleman's Gallery and multiple floral swags referring to Daniel Seghers's A Garland of Pink Roses, a Tulip, a Pink Carnation, Narcissi and Other Flowers with Blue Bows as well numerous other objects found in the museum's permanent collection paintings. The entire composition balances atop a casket that is custom fitted to the artist's dimensions.
