Commonplaces and Curiosities, installation view.
Commonplaces and Curiosities: Sketchbooks 2013–2021 is on view at the historic Grinnell Library in Wappingers Falls, NY, October 2022. From the press release:
These sketchbooks—representing eight years of Sean McCarthy’s thoughts and observations—contain drawings, notes, and studies, as well as quotations and paraphrases of conceptual inspirations. Since only small portions of the contents can be visible at any given time, the artist will turn the pages periodically to create new displays throughout the month.
