Lots of warm, family feeling infused the gala opening on Saturday, November 8, at the Nicole Fiacco Gallery in Hudson. The exhibition, "Negative Space," a one-woman show of sculpture by the artist Linda B. Horn, is comprised almost exclusively of all-white plaster pieces. Everyone talked about how wonderful all that white 3-dimensional art looked in Fiacco's new space, an enormous white cube. One very engaging piece, the shape of a woman's face visible through a veil of fabric, however, appeared to have been banished to a poorly-lit spot in the entry. It's presumed crime: being blue.
