SHIMON OKSHTEYN: STILL-LIFES
Curated by Tatyana Okshteyn, founder of Black & White Gallery/Project Space, the show is hosted at the Southampton, Long Island studio of her late husband, Shimon Okshteyn.
Okshteyn's still-lifes—objects whose life has been stilled—not only explore the boundary between ordinary objects and poetic objects—non-art and found art—but between aesthetics and erotics.
