Please join us for an artist's reception of Todd Baldwin's exhibition "75% Recycled" Saturday 6-8pm. Baldwin has created four sculptures using reclaimed materials. A comment on our consumer culture, this work is, as artist Matt Pruden has written "even more capable of enchantment since its unassuming status catches us off guard." Acknowledging that art too is a product, Baldwin has made several copies of each sculpture, packaged them up like something you'd find at Costco or Wallmart, and priced them from $29.95 to $85.95.
Todd Baldwin earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Rutgers University, Mason Gross School of the Arts in 1997, and a Master of Fine Arts degree from Vermont College of Fine Arts in 2010. Baldwin has exhibited sculpture and photography steadily since the early 1990s and is currently a member of the artist-run gallery Tiger Strikes Asteroid in Philadelphia and works at the Princeton University Art Museum.
Second Story Art Gallery is located at 78 First Avenue, Atlantic Highlands. Exhibition runs from April 26 – May 31.
