The Halsey McKay Gallery in East Hampton presents Timothy Bergstrom's Moon Milk: Part I. The show opens on Sunday with a reception from 1 to 4 PM.
The works in Moon Milk: Part 1 are about desire. The exhibition takes its title from the mythical substance in Italo Calvino’s short story The Distance of the Moon, a coveted glop fermenting on the Moon. The wire-formed crevices on Bergstrom’s canvases are filled with screws, brushes, bottle caps, pastry tips, sandpaper, tape, and tissue, held in place by thousands of viscous threads of acrylic paint. The show runs through October 20.
Bergstrom lives and works in Brooklyn.
