Julie Schenkelberg at Asya Geisberg Gallery

From the heart of the Rust Belt to the heart of Chelsea, scenic designer turned fine artist Julie Schenkelberg has transplanted an installation begun in a disused church basement to Asya Geisberg Gallery. Furniture, dishware, wedding dresses and more combine to create a monument to memory and decay. (In Chelsea through Oct 24th).

Julie Schenkelberg, Swan Song, reclained lath, wood, marble, iron, paper, vintage furniture, dishware, figurines, natural debris, crushed reclaimed metal, light fixtures, vintage wedding dresses, bathtub, wallpaper, plaster, paint, dimensions variable, 2015.

Julie Schenkelberg’s sculpture ‘Dowry, Rediscovered,’ a wooden bench sliced open to reveal crockery-stuffed cushions, has the feeling of a long hidden secret suddenly brought to light or a wondrous intrusion of nature – the plates look like fungus – on a man-made object.  (At Chelsea’s Asya Geisberg Gallery through April 20th.)
