C.T. MCCLUSKY: CIRCUS SURREAL
On view through October 24
C.T. McClusky worked as a circus clown and spent the winter seasons of 1940-1960 at a boarding house in Oakland, California. Working with found materials, he completed 53 collages on shirt cardboard incorporating foil, string, photographic illustrations and cutouts from animal cracker boxes. His vignettes from circus life are candid, nostalgic and strikingly surreal. This oeuvre was discovered in 1975 by John Turner–then curator at the Museum of Craft and Folk art in San Francisco.

UPCOMING DIGITAL EXHIBITIONS
HELMUT HLADISCH
Hladisch (b. 1961) has been one of the eight residents of the Gugging House of Artists in the outskirts of Vienna since 2013. Using short, close-set strokes to fill in traced contours, Hladisch depicts everyday objects from memory or inspired by print media. His stylized, abstracted drawings cross seamlessly into the modern and contemporary arenas.
Pictured: Lemon Tree, 2014. Graphite on paper. 19″ x 13″.
RENALDO KUHLER
Kuhler (1931-2013) was a scientific illustrator of natural history specimens for 30 years. Unbeknownst to family, friends, and co-workers, he was also a prolific self-taught artist. In 1948 he invented an imaginary country he called Rocaterrania and secretly illustrated the nation’s history for more than 60 years.
Pictured: Untitled (Mullein grove in the Thunder Mountain Region), ca. 1960s. Gouache on paper. 6 1/2″ x 4″.

Dispatches From a Land of Forced Reacquaintance
By Adam Hanft
“Access to the emotional turmoil and self-expressive velocity of artists who were inherently isolated, for a variety of reasons – including mental illness, physical disability, or imprisonment – enables us to better cope with and understand our own pandemically-wrought feelings. Or at least, it has enabled me.”
