Make it Cherry

Fernwey Gallery is pleased to present Make It Cherry, a group show featuring new work by APT artist Andrew Falkowski, Parsons & Charlesworth, and Maybe Sunday.

Cherry signifies an attitude of production - a fetishized perfection. 
Cherry demands discipline, facility and style. 
Cherry connects us to hot rods and air Jordans - mint condition and limited editions. 

Deadstock: The Rise of Sneaker-Mania
The cultural significance of athletic footwear has far surpassed the realm of sport. To some, the sneaker is the quintessential symbol of the contemporary cosmopolitan. To others, it is an overhyped commodity that exploits urban subcultures for commercial gain. For the real ‘sneakerhead,’ though, the sneaker is an art object. Wrapped in paper in the original cardboard packaging, the sneaker is not just a symbol of, but an actual piece of greatness. The sneaker confers onto its owner all of the significance of its history. It is no wonder, then, that many of the most desirable shoes are never worn. They are collected and appreciated as objects in their own right. They remain in mint condition, carefully wrapped and protected from light. Deadstock.
