Baroccodemic

Baroccodemic, an exhibition of work by four of today's most intriguing artists, opens at Nassau County Museum of Art on August 26 and remains on view through November 4. In this unusual exhibition, Nicole Cherubini's sculpted pot forms on handmade pedestals are displayed against wall-mounted works by Nigerian-born artist Odili Donald Odita; German-born artist Leslie Wayne; and English-born artist Walead Beshty, each of whom has been widely exhibited in group and solo shows in this country and abroad. Beshty is also a frequently published art critic. Cherubini's works have been seen nationally and interna-tionally; she is a recipient of an NEA Travel Grant and a New England Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in Sculpture. The exhibition, sponsored by the museum's Contemporary Collectors Circle, is organized by Barbara Goldfarb Tepperman.
