The Feldman Gallery will exhibit new work by Alexander Brodsky, a Moscow-based artist/architect whose work relates to memory and the passage of time. Brodsky will exhibit three installations and two paintings on light boxes. The installations, which are displayed on large, specially-constructed tables, include clay heads implanted with television sets, drawings on used tea bags in cemetery-like formation, and messages on paper, held down by clay weights, which flap in a breeze created by fans. Brodsky was the set designer for the recent New York Theatre Workshop production of Beckett Shorts, which featured Mikhail Baryshnikov. Grey Matter, his dream-like environment of unfired clay objects that surround one’s childhood, was exhibited at the Feldman Gallery in 1999. In 2006, he represented Russia in the Venice Biennale of Architecture.
