Upstairs:
Memoirs of a Beast - Mixed media installation by Judith Page
Judith Page is a New York based artist and independent curator.
The installation explores the artist’s personal history using old diaries, photographs and mixed media sculptures.

The artist will speak about her work in the gallery on Wednesday, February 9th at 2:45pm.

Judith Page lived in Florida for twenty years before moving to New York City
in 1993. In 1994, she began creating a series of grotesque humanoid sculptures
and installations involving sound, text and music. She received both Gottlieb
and Pollock-Krasner Foundation Fellowships based on this body of work, and was included in the definitive exhibition of art in this genre, Pop Surrealism, at the
Aldrich Museum in Ridgefield, Connecticut. Page says that her "sculptures
emerge from a Gothic sensibility, a place where horror and beauty exist in close
proximity, where innocence encounters depravity, where the spirit is consumed
and revived from moment to moment.” She currently lives and works in the
Williamsburg section of Brooklyn

Opening Reception for both exhibitions: Thursday, February 10, 5 – 7pm
"Young Americans" curator, Heather Stephens will give a gallery
talk at 5pm.
