The Housatonic Museum of Art presents a new exhibition, “Drip Drop, Tick Tock” by regional artist, Joseph Fucigna. The show focuses on sculptures from the on-going Plastic Fencing Series created in the last 14 years. With his sculptures, Fucigna enjoys taking modest industrial materials and transforming them into elegant yet provocative abstractions that speak about the inherent qualities of the material, process, craft and time. The exhibition opens on September 6 with a reception to be held on Thursday, September 13 from 5:30–8:00pm. Fucigna is a multi-media artist whose work has consistently been rooted in process, play and the innate qualities of the materials used. Through experimentation and innovation, he creates sculptures that are known for their power to transform common industrial materials, inventiveness and odd but suggestive subject matter. The work included in this exhibition are selections from the Plastic Fencing Series with a focus on the new Plastic Drip Series. The inspiration for Fucigna’s Plastic Drip Series came from the fluid and dripping qualities of silicone hand therapy putty or more commonly known as Silly Putty. Through labor-intensive construction, Fucigna translates the plastic and metal fencing into sculptures that create the illusion of fluid organic forms flowing down […]

On Exhibition: Flappers: Fashion and Freedom
Spaght Gallery; August 17, 2018 – January 27, 2019 In this key moment in our national history and the struggle for women’s equality and freedom of expression, the Fairfield Museum’s exhibition “Flappers: Fashion and Freedom,” examines the history and social impact of fashion and its relationship to the women’s movement of the 1920s. On the heels of World War I and the winning of suffrage, a rise of consumer culture included mass-produced images from movies, advertisements, and magazines in a way that had never before shaped an era of American womanhood. Drawing on the Fairfield Museum’s rich costume collection, this exhibition raises questions about the relationships between the “New Woman”, and the representations of freedom of movement, behavior, and thought that defined modern American womanhood and the “Flapper” culture and lifestyle.

“Top of the Hill” New paintings by Brian Rutenberg
Heather Gaudio Fine Art is pleased to present “Top of the Hill: New Paintings,” a solo exhibition featuring new work by Brian Rutenberg. The show will open with a reception for the artist on September 15th, 4-6:30pm and will run through October 27th. This new body of work by Rutenberg is entitled Top of the Hill, after a Frank Vincent DuMond painting. For Rutenberg, Connecticut has played a significant, subtle role in his education and development as an artist. As a student of art history, he has been guided by the Tonalism of John Henry Twachtman, J. Alden Weir and other Cos Cob painters, as well as the Grassy Hill landscapes of Old Lyme painter DuMond. Rutenberg has lived and worked in New York City for over thirty years and during that time has taken pleasure in enjoying the four seasons in the Nutmeg State. Such was the starting point of the work created for this exhibition: these are big paintings of small things -- of alder and willow, or iris and drops of rain. For Rutenberg, the title Top of the Hill conjures an image of standing in one place peering into another. His landscape paintings refer to being […]
