RENTAL GALLERY PRESENTS Geoff McFetridge & Elsa Hansen Oldham Opening September 2,  6-8 PM 87 Newtown Lane, East Hampton, NY Geoff McFetridge,  On Either Side of Vanishing , 2017, Acrylic on canvas 58 x 66 inches  Rental Gallery  is pleased to present two new exhibitions opening  September 2, 2017:  Geoff McFetridge:  Test for Positive Thinking   and  Elsa Hansen Oldham:  New Work . A public reception for the artists will be held on Saturday,  September 2 from  6-8pm . The works will remain on view through  Tuesday, October 31 .  In the upstairs gallery, Oldham’s small-scale embroidered works draw viewers into a history of traditional and decorative arts before jarring them with them with their cannily subversive subject matter, from fetishism to hip hop to  Buffy the Vampire Slayer.  Hansen draws unexpected parallels between generations of artists, musicians, cultural icons, gently balancing satire and social commentary.  The downstairs g

RENTAL GALLERY PRESENTS Tabitha Soren Artist Talk & Book Signing Monday, August 14, 4 PM 87 Newtown Lane, East Hampton, NY On Monday, August 14, at  4pm , Rental Gallery, in collaboration with the Aperture Foundation, is pleased to present an artist talk and book signing with Tabitha Soren, whose  Fantasy Life  was released this April to critical acclaim. In 2002, Soren first began photographing a group of minor league draft picks for the Oakland A’s—young men coming into the major league farm system straight from high school or college. Since then, she has followed the players through their baseball lives, an alternate reality of long bus rides, on-field injuries, friendships and marriages entered and exited, constant motion, and very hard work, often for very little return. Some of the subjects, like Nick Swisher and Joe Blanton, have gone on to become well-known, respected players at the highest level of the game. Some left ba

RENTAL GALLERY PRESENTS Tabitha Soren Artist Talk & Book Signing Monday, August 14, 4 PM 87 Newtown Lane, East Hampton, NY My misbchem, my friends and people, my family, These are three artists who have shaped my character, my vision, my person, and made and kept me in the position I am as an art dealer. The struggle is real, and it is every day, but because of these three I can keep going. Without them I have nothing to speak about, nothing to sell. For me selling art is not something that comes naturally. It is only because they give me a story to tell that I feel I need to pass it on. It is part of my service.
