Jim Zimpel: Angle August 24, 2012

In 'Angle,' artist Jim Zimpel draws parallels between the practice of fishing and the practice of art. The rituals, the tools, the solitary moments and the resultant frustration or reward have led the artist to a career in which he works in both fields, and to discover the familial bonds that draw him to the sport. 'Angle' will include handmade fishing rods, bait buckets, aerated coolers and a real tank of fish. Participation is also part of Zimpel's installation and visitors to the show or to his website will be able to enter to earn the opportunity to fish from the tank. Each Sunday, five lucky participants will enjoy the art of fishing, and making the ultimate decision to release or dine.
