Nicola Ginzel's exhibition at The Gallery at One Army Plaza explores memory through everyday ephemera

Nicola Ginzel's exhibition opens at The Gallery at One Army Plaza in Brooklyn on September 22, 2017, with a reception scheduled from 6-8 PM, and will be on display until January 2, 2018. Among the showcased pieces is "Trident Cherry–Right in the Middle" (2011-2017), which features an embroidered frottage alongside a Hebrew dictionary page, a paper napkin, ink, glue, and wood. Ginzel creatively repurposes everyday items—such as ticket stubs, chewing gum, rubber bands, scraps of fabric, soap, zippers, candy wrappers, matchbooks, and wax balls—transforming them into art. These transient objects act as symbols of memory and cultural artifacts, exploring consciousness and mindfulness through a lens inspired by Zen Buddhism, while resonating with a child's imaginative perspective. The exhibition, located at 1 Grand Army Place, emphasizes the cultural significance of overlooked remnants.
