Pre-Occupied
In 2018 I had the pleasure of viewing New York artist Jeanne Heifetz’s exhibition titled A Brief Encampment at the Lobby Gallery located in the 14th Street Y in New York. Unfortunately I was not accompanied by the artist, as I’m sure I would’ve plied her with endless questions. On the other hand, as a free-floating flâneur unburdened by conversation, I was readily able to ricochet back and forth across the space of the gallery like a pinball—all the better to compare and contrast one work to another, and to savor and maybe even to crack the code.
