Monica (nee Nicki?) Bock's work is showing at a studio in Chelsea. Here's part of the press release:
Cheek By Jowl
Sculpture and Photographs
by Monica Bock
September 30 - October 25, 2008
Opening Reception: Thursday October 2nd, 5pm - 7pm Gallery Hours: Tuesday - Saturday, 12noon - 6pm. Admission is free. SOHO20 Chelsea presents "Cheek By Jowl", sculpture and photographs by Monica Bock. The exhibition will be open to the public from September 30 through October 25, 2008. An opening reception will be held on Thursday October 2nd from 5pm - 7pm. Cheek by Jowl consists of twenty-four pairs of dental casts resting on individual shelves, accompanied by twelve archival inkjet photographs. The casts chronicle the falling out and growing in of a pair of siblings' teeth over the course of three years, with an embossed date on each set of teeth marking the day the original dental mold was taken. Cast in sterling silver and bronze and formally displayed, the teeth are souvenir relics, serving as both memoir and memorial. The photographs offer a more immediate and light-hearted look at the intimate experience of watching a girl and a boy grow up.
