Now You See Me
2024-06-22 12:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Bundy Modern, 361 Bundy Rd, Waitsfield, VT, United States
Paintings by Suzy Spence and Nikko Sedgwick, sculptures by Carl D’Alvia
Please join us June 21, 5-8 for our opening reception of Now You See Me!
Hours: Fri, Sat, Sun 12-5, June 22-Oct 13.
Strength, beauty, vulnerability, hope…we find ourselves when we are in the presence of figurative art. Now You See Me casts its characters in every aspect of the human experience, from the expectation of birth to mourning.
Suzy Spence delves into the intricacies of athleticism, risk-taking, and the interplay between nature, strength and fragility. Nikko Sedgwick, a mixed media painter, uses family snapshots to tell a more hidden story. Carl D’Alvia’s bronze sculptures finds abstract questions in familiar shapes. Now You See Me asks us to discover the space between what is seen and what may be forever hidden from view.
These mature artists use figuration to create a sensory content that connects them to each other and to the viewer within the expansive space of the Bundy Modern Gallery
The Bundy Modern, a 1962 International Style, architectural gem in the woods, is located at 361 Bundy Rd, Waitsfield, just 2 miles south of town off Route 100. The building is spectacular in true modern style with all structural elements visible: walls of glass, brick parapets, massive wooden beams and Vermont slate floors.
12 original modern sculptures from the 1960s have been returned to the Bundy after 25 years. Come enjoy the grounds and soak in the beauty of this work.

About this show Peter Schumann says, “We, the Whole Kit & Caboodle bread bakers, peace and harmony terrorists and criminal trespassers of the fascist empire offer anti-hospital-bombing calisthenics in the face of the Freedom and Democracy Bullshitters, and precise funeral rites for the collapsing Western Civilization and make our divine paper maché weaponry, as retrieved from the cardboard industry’s available refuse to defeat the capitalist hegemony and celebrate a brand-new humanity with appropriate victory dances and demonstrate our birthright as children of the one and only Mother Dirt, who makes us and unmakes us and now requires our full undivided attention.”
Bread and Puppet’s Cheap Art – books, posters, postcards, pamphlets and banners from the Bread and Puppet Press – will be for sale in the Bread & Puppet Museum Store throughout the event.
