Old Souls (Reincarnated Objects)
Orly Cogan, Brian Dettmer, Flore Gardner, & Jessica Joslin
May 6 - June 25, 2011
The Wexler Gallery Philadelphia, PA
In the main gallery space, Wexler gallery is proud to present Old Souls: Reincarnated Objects, curated by gallery director Sienna Freeman. Featured artists include Orly Cogan, Brian Dettmer, Flore Gardner, and Jessica Joslin. The exhibition will run from May 6th through June 25th, 2011.
The exhibition will focus on four artists working with found objects of an intimate nature including family photographs, used books, animal bones, and other earthly belongings. Over time, these objects are often discarded, lost, or forgotten by their original keepers. Transformed by the artistic process, the objects undergo a metamorphosis, becoming much more than relics. They are given a second life, one that is different and perhaps more momentous from that of their first incarnation.
