Tack and Jibe May 2, 2009

'Tack and Jibe' is an installation of approximately 20 works of art that examine the use of sailing imagery. Photographs, drawings, paintings and video will show how sails and boats have been an attractive theme for artists to work with. Over the centuries, artists have been drawn to their compositional appeal as well as the romantic and allusive potential of the subject matter. There will also be a wide range of approaches to the subject, from the very representational to the abstract.
