Irish artist Stefana McClure’s ‘Protest Stones’ are a clever twist to the theme of ‘Hand in Hand,’ a group exhibition at gallerist Josee Beinvenu’s and curator, advisor and publisher Michael Steinberg’s new Tribeca gallery, Bienvenu Steinberg & Partner. Featuring artwork that relates in some way to the human hand, the show brings together work by over 30 artists in a variety of media. Alluding the violence in Northern Ireland during her upbringing, McClure’s stones are for throwing. Covered in battered text from American poet Adrienne Rich’s text ‘What Kind of Times Are These,’ the words question how we treat each other and who is paying attention. (On view through Oct 30th).
