Here is a primitive video I cobbled together with a digital camera in Nashville for those of you who did not make the opening.



Check out this "critics pick" from the Nashville Scene also:

"RANDY POLUMBO Nearly 100 years ago, Marcel Duchamp exhibited his infamous urinal, toying with what exactly art could be; thereafter, the floodgates were wide open, and much of the artwork throughout the 20th century continued to take refuge under this notion. Many artists today still operate under a Duchampian model, juxtaposing everyday objects to recontextualize them—witness Randy Polumbo's exhibit at Sarratt Gallery, which is rooted in giving new meaning to the banal. The New York sculptor utilizes found and handcrafted elements: a toilet becomes a reflecting pool; an enema with tiny solar panels and an engine becomes a space probe. The work is partly witty and partly absurd, a testament to Duchamp's long-lasting influence. Polumbo will give a talk about his work at the opening reception, 4:30 p.m. Friday, April 29." - Nicole Pietrantoni
