Pictures at an Exhibition presents images of one notable show every weekday.
Today’s show: “New Personal Best!” by John Donovan and “Letting Go” by Jessica Wohl presented as a joint exhibition at Zeitgeist Gallery in Nashville, Tennessee. Donovan’s sculptures are inspired by pre-Columbian and Chinese Han Dynasty-era ceramic figures but are executed as accessorized toys. Wohl’s textile work combines figurative elements with items associated with domestic/suburban lifestyles, using fabric and sewing techniques as painting.
