JET JEWISH ENSEMBLE THEATRE presents The Queen's Physician By Betty Neustat Directed by Dinah Lynch Michigan's MarketMakers in Coins and Bars "Sell Where the Dealers Sell" BARN=TT RARITI=S The Sybaris Gallery's last ex- hibition of the fall season, opening Dec. 5 and running through Dec. 31, will feature the felt constructions of Joan Livingstone and the fiber sculptures of Jane Sauer. Joan Livingstone's un- dulating constructions, which sit on the floor or lean against walls, are a series of enclosures that refer to the limitations and potentialities of the human body as con- tainer. Their soft folds become the female sex, while their rigid overall shape suggests the male. They appear to be momentarily inert, poised between growth and decay, life and death. Ms. Livingstone's sculp- tures are made of industrial felt. Constructed of sections sewn together, they are saturated with epoxy resin which is sanded away when the forms become hardened. The actual shapes of Jane Sauer's sculptures, while never quite literal, often bring to mind a range of associations. Like Joan Liv- ingstone's work, their organicism frequently has human or bodily references. Especially when the pieces are conceived of as pairs, there may be a suggestion of a duality of relationship bet- ween, for example, male and female, firmness and softness, strength and weakness. This ambivalence or lack of defini- tion adds to their sense of mystery. Crafted by a method of ty- ing and knotting waxed linen threads (derived from tech- niques of basketmaking), - Henna Trap by Sauer these forms result from a systematic build-up of many, tiny interconnected and ex- tricable parts. An important aspect of Ms. Sauer's sculpture is the tension bet- ween a strong overall visual impression and the realiza- tion of the complex delicacy o f its making. Ms. Sauer's training as a painter aids her in visually activating the surface of her pieces. She applies paint both to the fibers before weaving and also on the finished forms. The gallery is at 301 West Fourth Street, Royal Oak, 544-3388. COPPOR A T I O N 189 MERRILL ST.
