3 Chiplis at Museum of Contemporary Art

“I Can’t Quite Focus” by Jeffry Chiplis

Here are three neon & argon sculptures by Jeffry Chiplis in the group show “Everything All At Once” curated by Liz Maugans in the Toby Devan Lewis Gallery at MoCA (Museum of Contemporary Art) which opened last Saturday and runs from August 24, 2013 — October 13, 2013.

This is quite a feather in his cap, especially when added to his commission for the “Land, Lake, Sky” sculpture installed last month at the new Cleveland Convention Center and his one-person show at the Butler Institute of American Art in 2010.

I’ll be putting up a foto montage of the show and gallery talk in the next few days at agentofchaos.com/chiplis/index.html.

All neon and argon tubing used is reclaimed from dead Cleveland businesses and buildings.
