Contemporaries and Contemporaries Patrons
Join artist and educator Mark Joshua Epstein for an evening of drinks and hands-on artmaking inspired by the exhibition Calder: Hypermobility. Create 3D collages in response to the kinetic mobiles featured in this exhibition, which brings together a rich constellation of key Calder sculptures, and provides a rare opportunity to experience the works as the artist intended—in motion.
Mark Joshua Epstein (b. 1979) is a visual artist based in New York. Recent exhibitions include solo presentations at Biquini Wax in Mexico City and Brian Morris Gallery, New York, and a recent two-person project with Will Hutnick at Demo Projects in Springfield, Illinois.
