Sara Nightingale Gallery in Sag Harbor presents “Peter Buchman, The Writing on the Wall,” opening Saturday, May 27, from 5 to 7 PM. The exhibition will run through June 28.
Peter Buchman wants to tell you a story – in his words and yours. His text-based sculptural works appropriate commonly used phrases, idioms, and logos from popular culture, which he strings together to form new narratives. Some of the works are lighthearted and jokey, while others utilize charged “inappropriate” words rendered in glossy letters, inviting viewers to reflect on their own use of language.
