Itineraries (art exhibition), works 1979 – 2009 by Alan Turner, is an exhibition of drawings and paintings exploring abandoned locations – ruins of antiquity, inventive shelters of the homeless, playgrounds of children – with side trips in the natural world. Alan paints quirky images that mark an uncomfortable relationship between the body, containers, and consciousness. During the last few years, he has made paintings (Box Houses) based on models he has built from corrugated cardboard, which grew out of observations of the structures the homeless build for shelter. Recently, Turners trips to Rome have further shaped his artistic vision. An acute draftsman, his painting technique has become increasingly austere – the newest "paintings" are simply graphite on canvas. This event is free for all. For more information, please call (212)431-5149.
