s. legg — first initial only; and all lower case — is on display through Aug. 6
The artist s. legg’s “peels” is a dress made form dried banana peels.
Legg lets his work do the talking, as they say, and it is quite the conversationalist: witty, familiar, surprising, sometimes intimidating, often obvious, and always a puzzle waiting to be solved. It may be impractical but it does make us contemplate just how valuable this organic “fabric” — that we discard or ignore unless we slip on it — is to our existence.
His male bust made of slices of actual white bread? An apt exploration of race and the words we use to describe ourselves and others. The piece titled “tack,” for example, plays on the dual meaning of “tack” as a word used for both tiny push pins and the parts of a horse’s saddle and dressing. It is literally a stirrup and spurs covered in shiny, gold thumb tacks.
There are other urgent moments in “pieces,” which is curated by Leon Gallery director Eric Nord. There is a glass slipper made of sharp shards of red glass and an automatic rifle made of shattered liquor bottles.
