For his exhibition at the Storefront’s Mainspace
Daniel Field (proprietor of Widgitz Studio in North
Adams) will install his matchless collection of
potential art making materials. For sale at 25 cents a
pound this ponderous cornucopia represents a lifetime
of searching through the detritus that surrounds
contemporary life.
A keen observer of all things unusual, Field will
arrange some of his “finished” sculptures amidst this
collection. His practice of mixing together the
factory built, (or “readymade”) with his own
fabrications is evident at his Widgitz Studio, where
along with the Outsider creations that he collects and
displays, his archive of found, made and altered
things has become a mini museum.
Disorientation is the usual response upon entering his
space. A “what is this, where am I” puzzlement is
inevitable. This provocation of the unfamiliar, this
displacement of logic, is Field’s preferred terrain,
and the one in which he traffics.
Entitled "Undead Artist Estate Sale", the exhibition
will be on view Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. May 12
thru June 3. Hours are from 12-5pm.
