Two massive sculptures made in the artist’s signature vocabulary of latex balloons will anchor the show in the main gallery and will be accompanied by huge paintings and a scintillating retrospective of more than 50 drawings and images of Hackenwerth’s exhibitions from the past 20 years. DARKMATTER will be an inspiration for the whole family, promising intrigue and surprise.
At Creative Pinellas (noon – 5 pm / Workshop 1 pm):
Join Artist Jason Hackenwerth at 1pm as he leads a FREE DARKMATTER Family Arts Workshop teaching how to create sculpture using balloons! Perfect for the whole family. Exhibition open through October 16.
