Art or Merch? Marcy B. Freedman Art Exhibition will soon be on display at SUNY Westchester Peekskill. A SUNY WCC Center for the Digital Arts Gallery Exhibition.When: Opening reception will be on Thursday, September 12, 2024, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.Exhibition is on display September 3 through November 24, 2024.Location: Center for the Digital Arts Gallery, SUNY Westchester Peekskill27 N Division St, Peekskill, NY 10566In 2020, Freedman created more than 400 digital collages, in which she merged her love of art history with her passion for surrealism, abstract art and… the empowerment of women. At first, she output her digital files as inkjet prints, which were exhibited in local art museums. Eventually, she decided that it would be fun to put some of these images onto tee shirts, mugs, blankets, sweatshirts, and more. Now, the artist sees the distinction between her “art” and the merchandise as superficial. She has concluded that her original digital file – usually a .jpg – is the true work of art! In order to allow the public to ponder this issue, her exhibition will feature inkjet prints, assorted manufactured objects, and a PowerPoint display of the artist’s original jpegs. Let the debate begin! You may contact peekskill@sunywcc.edu or 914-606-7300 for opening reception information and viewing hours.More information at https://lnkd.in/eid4ATKi
