Art That Rose Through the Cracks: Three exemplary exhibitions draw attention to public space, from community gardens to rooftop sculptures

By John Vincler

The exhibition traces a history of art taking place in the neglected corners of the city, where nature sometimes seems to have been built over and largely pushed out. Two other exemplary current shows — Miles Huston’s “Cinderella Had a Farm,” at Gordon Robichaux, and Kate Newby’s “We Are Such Stuff,” at Laurel Gitlen — also ask viewers to consider their immediate surroundings, drawing their attention to communal public space.

Huston and Newby each differently bring the outside into the gallery through their work.For Huston, the humble watering can provides a means for reflecting on the reciprocal care between humans and plants. Newby captures the attention of viewers within the gallery to bring their gaze beyond to the streets, buildings and spaces outside.

Huston’s exhibition at Gordon Robichaux centers on the artist’s collection of watering jugs shown in three distinct series: as sculptural forms on shelves presented as designed objects as in a museum, in uniform green monochromes hung neatly in a row from a rack with coin-deposit locks as at a cemetery, and another grouping in a heterogeneous, cluttered multicolored mass as they would be stored within a community garden.
