January 28 – April 2
Exhibition – Mike Bourscheid: Sunny Side Up and other sorrowful stories
Richmond Art Gallery
7700 Minoru Gate
Mike Bourscheid melds family anecdotes, fictional tales, domestic work, and tropes of masculinity—from clown to cowboy—in his new body of work Sunny Side Up and other sorrowful stories. Bringing together several sculptural works and a short film starring the artist, Sunny Side Up functions as a stage or set ready to be activated. Bourscheid’s signature sense of play and pathos percolates through this series of carefully hand-crafted and bespoke costumes, furniture, props, prosthetics, and puppets—many of which were originally featured in the film. Gallery-goers will discover his delightfully inventive sculptures fashioned from a surprising mix of found and everyday objects—hair extensions, a leather saddle, a suitcase, and even a Ouija board.
