The Arts Center at Duck Creek in Springs presents an exhibition of outdoor sculpture by artist Louis Brawley on the grounds. The exhibition will be on display from July 9 to October 8, with an opening reception and artist talk on Sunday, July 9, from 5 to 7 PM.
Throughout the rest of the 2023 season, the grounds at Duck Creek will be inhabited by artist Louis Brawley’s rough-hewn, delightfully waggish wooden sculptures. These recent works were made from fallen timber the artist collected during and after his pandemic stay in New Jersey, an experience which led the artist to work outdoors and adapt his practice to the unpredictable nature of his environment. This surrender to the elements is aligned with his creative process and good-humored openness.
“While I’m working there is always that moment when I laugh and that’s a good sign that I’m going in the right direction. If something becomes too obvious, it needs to be redirected into the wilderness of possibility,” said the artist.
Also at Duck Creek this weekend, Kassa Overall will perform on Saturday, July 8, at 5 PM along with Tomoki Sanders, Ian Fink, and Bendji Allonce. Kassa Overall is a Grammy-nominated musician, emcee, singer, producer, and drummer who melds avant-garde experimentation with hip-hop production techniques to tilt the nexus of jazz and rap in unmapped directions.
