Handwerker Gallery director’s art  featured in Binghamton exhibition        

Handwerker Gallery director Mara Baldwin will have her “Come ’Round Right” work featured from Nov. 7 to Dec. 5 in the Elsie B. Rosefsky Memorial Art Gallery at Binghamton University. The “Come ’Round Right” exhibition questions the post-utopian landscape and legacy left behind by the Shakers, exploring the persistence of a disappearing community by examining what remains. This work does not provide a historical recreation or celebration of Shaker traditions but rather considers their labor and devotion and its inherent contradictions as a departure point for imagining new utopian futures.
