Glimmerglass Film Days Companion Exhibit On View Now

COOPERSTOWN—The exhibition “In Play: Borders & Edges,” featuring works by Richard Barlow, Amy Cannon, Mark Mastroianni, and Gail Peachin, and curated by gallerist Sydney L. Waller, is currently on view at The Smithy, 55 Pioneer Street.

A companion exhibition to Glimmerglass Film Days, “In Play” will be open during the film festival, November 7-11, from noon to 4 p.m., by appointment November 4-6 and November 12-16. In addition, there will be Café Breaks with the Artists on Saturday, November 9 and Sunday, November 10 from 4:15-5:15 p.m.

“The show, which features four inventive and highly original artists, riffs on this year’s Film Days theme, “Boundaries,” and invites viewers to examine and ponder the visual relationships and contrasts the artists evoke, sometimes sharp, sometimes blurred, sometimes both,” said Waller, who is a founding member of the Film Days Steering Committee.

She noted that Richard Barlow will be creating two large works for the exhibit, in situ at The Smithy, using chalk on wood panels. To view the exhibit outside of Film Days, text (315) 941-9607.
