What’s Coming Up
“Playing Around” Gallery Exhibition
This exhibition, curated by Lucy Rahner, was presented in the Gabriel Gallery from August 3rd until September 6th.
From the curator:
“G.K. Chesterton noted that, ‘It might reasonably be maintained that the true object of all human life is play. Earth is a task garden; heaven is a playground.’ Yet, the experience of forgetting how to play as we become adults—losing that which gave color to childhood—seems depressingly ubiquitous. Play is indispensable, somehow existing for its own sake—for the love of the game—while filling life with vitality.”
OPEN: Wednesday - Saturday, 11am - 6pm
Annunciation Church, 88 Convent Ave, New York, NY 10027
