Recent Highlights

  Stuart Sherman
Stuart Sherman is best-known for the performances he called "spectacles," which often took the form of small tabletop performances and involved the manipulation of everyday objects atop a folding TV dinner tray. Performed by a poker-faced Sherman, the spectacles are a unique hybrid that move between references to various genres, including comedy, magic, musicals, minimalism, surrealism, opera, three-card monte games, fluxus, and vaudeville.

View and audio slideshow of his recent exhibition, "Beginningless Thought/Endless Seeing: The Works of Stuart Sherman."
