This show exhibited in Essex Flowers presents new works by Melissa Brown, a painter and animator who often refers to money and games of chance in her work.
This is a collection of interrelated prints, paintings and animation. Each medium sheds light on the other. This exhibition was inspired by a trip she took to Foxwoods Resort Casino in nearby Ledyard, CT. For her, it is inspiring that money is valued by human perception instead of a stockpile of Gold. It means that human consciousness has the power to make the imaginary real. For this, it is worth peeling off a twenty and getting into the game.
Where: Essex Flowers – 365 Grand Street – New York City
