Pickle

Clutch Gallery is pleased to present Pickle by Nick Black. Nick Black is a maker, a tinkerer, a mad scientist whose materials are animatronic plastic novelties cobbled together to create a sublime clusterfu**K. Pickle is a work that on the surface has all the elements of a bawdy practical joke, but when activated the grinding rotation of miniature dill pickle and the raising up of a mechanized crocheted flower reveals a layer of self-effacing wit. Nick Black was born in Chicago in 1958. He has attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago , DePaul University , the University of Illinois at Chicago, and the Massachusetts College of Art . His recent exhibitions include Byron Cohen Gallery in Kansas City , Uncle Freddy's Gallery in Highland , IN , Joymore Gallery in Chicago , the Chicago Cultural Center and he recently created an installation for Pop-up Art in the Chicago Loop .
