A selection of small sculptures made by kinetic installation artist Jon Kessler and given as gifts over the years to family and friends, now presented at Salon94 Freemans, is a change of pace but no less zany than the artist’s major works. (On the Lower East Side through March 28th).
Jon Kessler, Keeper of the Key, mixed media, 13 x 8.5 x 5 inches, 2013.
