In The Gallery at Brooklyn Metal Works presents “Spoons”

May 17, 2024, 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Join us In The Gallery at Brooklyn Metal Works for the opening reception of “Spoons”, a group exhibition showcasing the multifaceted nature of this everyday utensil.

An extension of the hand, likened to a cupped palm, the spoon can be both simple and complex. This necessary object has developed over time to become ubiquitous, at moments prized, and even precious.

Narratives, histories, and artists shape spoons, allowing them to evolve with each generation. Positioned at an intersection between familiar and strange, the works on view in this exhibition encapsulate a diverse array of materials and processes. Functional or impractical, each piece serves as a testament to the distinct stories and creative perspectives brought forth by the participating artists, celebrating the enduring versatility and cultural resonance of the spoon.

“Spoons” will be on view In The Gallery from Friday, May 17th through Saturday, June 30th, 2024. This exhibition was curated by Brooklyn Metal Works Co-Founders, Erin S. Daily & Brian Weissman in collaboration with Naama Levitt.

Featured artists include Adam John Manely, Addison de Lisle, Anna Koplik, Annie Meyer, Brian Weissman, Corey Ackelmire, David Harper Clemons, Elliot Earl Keeley, Emily Chen, Erica Moody, Erin S. Daily, Foley, Funlola Coker, Haley Bates, Hilla Shapira, Jenny Ibsen Jessica Andersen, Jody Hanson, Naama Levit, Rachel Kedinger, and Suzanne Pugh.
