SPIRITUS
Farmingdale State College Memorial Gallery presents SPIRITUS, featuring the work of Felicia Feldman, Kate Clark, and Steve Forster, Curated by Beth Giacummo, on view from September 9 - November 13, 2023. The Farmingdale community is invited to join us for a special lecture with artists Kate Clark & Steve Forster which will be hosted on Thursday, October 3 at 11:00 AM in Gleeson Room 102. A reception with all three artists will also take place on October 3 from 4:30 - 6:30 PM at the Memorial Gallery in Hale Hall.
SPIRITUS explores the boundaries between human and animal, realism and surrealism, blur into an evocative tapestry of hybrid beings. The exhibition featuring the works of Kate Clark, Felecia Feldman, and Steve Forster delves into this intricate interplay, presenting a collection where hyperrealistic humans intertwine seamlessly with animals, or animals exhibit human traits. This amalgamation transcends mere visual spectacle, inviting viewers to explore profound questions about identity, nature, and the interconnectedness of life forms.
