Jeanne Finley and John Muse: the Slow Lapse of Days and Months February 18, 2010

'The Slow Lapse of Days and Months' is a site-specific video installation by the collaborative team of Jeanne Finley and John Muse. Utilizing multi-screen video projections, the exhibition explores three profoundly different ways of keeping time, using the real working lives of three contemporary Ridgefield residents: a dog groomer, an arborist, and a guitar instructor, played off the lives of two local historical figures: a hermit from the eighteenth century named Sarah Bishop and a wandering vagrant from the nineteenth century known as "the Leatherman."
