Coyote

In January, Emerson Space Case was home to four coyotes.  This show has come and gone for Emerson Space Case, but if you missed it, these critters (plus two more) will be on display at Palace of Industry until the end of March!

an installation by Stephanie Brachmann

This installation draws from my memories of being raised in a rural forested area, and surrounded by a seemingly endless mystery of wilderness.  We rarely saw the coyotes, but we knew they were there by the sound of their maniacal cackling in the distance on moonlit nights.  These sculptures are my personal tribute to the scavenging, predatory, invisible way of the wild.

Made from poultry wire, papier mache, found fabric, found paper, paint, branches.

Ilan Schraer's "Sea Cave" Makes a Splash

Using papier mache, sea ephemera, paint, cardboard, lights and magic, Ilan Schraer has transformed the Emerson Space Case into an underwater wonder world of creatures, textures, and whimsy.

You must see this to believe it!  Bring the kiddies!  Like most installations here, it looks especially stunning at night.  This installation will exist throughout the month of May, and is visible 24 hours a day (although the gallery lights turn off around 2am).

Thanks to all the folks who stopped by Monday night for the opening/unveiling/snacks.  We had so much fun putting this project together; it was truly a labor of love and we're so happy with the final product.  Also thanks to Sarah Goodchild Robb for pitching in with the papier mache-ing!

Here are more photos to get you excited:

Sarah Goodchild Robb Installation, through April 23rd

 

During the month of April, we have on display an installation by Sarah Goodchild Robb!  As you can see, it's a papier mache, red and green, newspapery affair.  In three dimensions, with textures and shapes all over the place.  Come see it!  The night's shadows complement it the best.
