Tom Burckhardt: FULL STOP

October 8, 2016 – February 12, 2017 - The exhibition is a full-scale replica of a mythical artist’s studio made of cardboard, wood, glue, and flat black paint. The installation, 10 feet high by 18 feet wide is filled with art historical references, such as Jackson Pollock’s shoes and Jasper Johns’s Savarin coffee can that here holds paintbrushes. The viewer who enters the walk-through studio observes the tools for art making and art books that provide inspiration, but sees no product.  In the center of the studio stands an empty canvas.
