Taking consumerism over the coals is the theme of "Buy and Sell," A new exhibition opening today at the John Slade Ely House in New Haven. Paul Rutkovsky and Jack Harriett usually show their work in the Papier-Mache Video Institute, which they founded a few years ago as "a haven for artists to do transient, experimental, commodity-oriented art," according to Ms Richey, who is the institutes current director. This will be the first time that they have mounted and exibition [sic] in a traditional, conservative setting.
Mr Rutkovsky a professor of art at Florida State University, has exhibited at Real Art Ways in Hartford and at the Kitchen gallery in New York City. Mr Harriett is a printer by trade and Ms Richey's talents are sometimes turned to baking socially significant cakes that are displayed and then eaten.
A large paper mache sculpture of a man sitting in his house watching television is the center piece of the show.
Hours are 1-4 P.M. Tuesday-Friday, 2-5 P.M. weekends. The address is 51 Trumbull Street and there is no admission charge.
