57 sculptures, paintings, drawings and mixed media assemblages by
artist Tom Seligman are being presented at The Drawing Room
Annex. The works are from the last decade after Seligman retired
from a career as museum director at Stanford University and scholar
of African art. The exhibition is curated by independent curator
Courtney Norris of Curated State.
The works frequently include nails and as Seligman states "I began
working with nails in my father's workshop as a young child and
have continued to use them in their traditional way, for building,
until the present. As objects used in my art practice, nails, whether
hand-forged or machine made, have violence associated with their
creation. Nails come from metal, heat and forging, and when used
in building to join, hold, support, and secure they are violently
driven to penetrate. Nails also have a wide spectrum of ideas,
meanings, and symbols (e.g. crucifixion). It is within this spectrum
that I situate much of my work."
