Carideo Featured in New York Times for Dog Eared Reverie

Greg Carideo '08 is featured in a recent New York Times write-up of the best exhibitions and galleries to visit in New York City for his now-past exhibition Dog Eared Reverie.

Dog Eared Reverie showcased eight new wall-mounted sculptures formally reminiscent of commercial awnings, each enclosing a singular rubber shoe heel found on the streets of New York.

Each steel armature is handmade by the artist using a metal joining technique known as silver brazing, and outfitted with meticulously sewn fabric compositions. Around the size of a human rib cage, the intimate scale and proportion of each artwork are modeled around the unique shoe sole fragment it shelters within. The tailored fabric collages which envelop each sculpture consist mostly of tattered T-shirts, bleached by exposure to sunlight and perforated with tiny apertures chafed through by repeated contact with the body. Photographs of architectural details – windows, murals, gates, alleyways, and alcoves – are stitched into the surfaces of each piece.
