Altering Freud at The ARTS of the Southern Finger Lakes

The ARTS of the Southern Finger Lakes (The ARTS) announces the opening of Altering Freud, a group exhibit of altered books. The exhibit reception will be on Thursday, July 19, 5-7 PM, at The Gallery @ The ARTS, 32 West Market Street in Corning. This event is free and open to the public.

Altering Freud features artwork by Gigi Alvare, Mavin Ambrose, Carol Ayers, Lindsey Bergquist, Dawn Coleman, Jan Kather, Kathy Pilling- Whitney, Sharla Lefkowitz Brown, Ginnie Lupi, Tom Oberg, Debb VanDelinder, and Will VanDelinder. The artists all used copies of Freud: Dictionary of Psychoanalysis as inspiration for the artwork.

"It is quite interesting how each artist has followed a different path that began with this same starting point. I am enjoying contrasting and comparing these works. It is clear that each of the artists had a profound and unique vision in creating their work. And, while each work is different from the next, they are also a little bit the same. To me that seems very human indeed. I'm convinced Freud himself would be amused, shocked and fascinated by these works," said curator Debb VanDelinder.

Altering Freud will be on display in The Spotlight Gallery July 2 - 30, 2007.
