What do a desk, logs, cardboard boxes, buildings, a train, fans, radios, a tractor, a bed, blocks, toy trees, a dollhouse, Saturn, record players, a grandfather clock, train cars, cash registers and Tinker Toys have in common? Nothing and everything. Almost everything anyway. That’s the central message in Lance Letscher’s work “Almost Everything” now showing at the Conduit Gallery. The collage is made up of images that look to be from the ’50s and early ’60s that become gradually smaller in scale going down the piece, as if they would ultimately fade away to nothing if the work were extended. And that too is part of the meaning. These images are of the things that mean everything to us — places to live and work, means of creating things, items to engage us mentally. They are also things that mean nothing by virtue of the fact that they are “things,” which both literally and figuratively fade away. Why string such objects together in work of art? Do these objects have any meaning or importance when presented out of context? Are these things literally everything else? See Letscher’s work at Conduit through November 12 along with works by Joan Winter and Ana Serrano.
Tuesdays-Saturdays, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Starts: Oct. 15. Continues through Nov. 12, 2011
