The Fulbright Triptych and Related Works by Park Slope artist Simon Dinnerstein will be on display at the Tenri Cultural Institute at 43A West 13 Street in Manhattan. The opening is on Friday, April 29th from 6-8PM and the event is open to the public.

Advance copies of Dinnerstein’s,  The Suspension of Time, will be available at the gallery. A collection of essays on Dinnerstein’s painting, The Fulbright Triptych, the book includes writing by a diverse range of contributors, including Jhumpa Lahiri, Dan Beachy-Quick,  Colin Eisler, Albert Boime, Thomas M. Messer, George Crumb and  John Turturro.

Here’s what Jonathan Lethem had to say:

“Simon Dinnerstein’s Fulbright Triptych is one of those singular and astonishing works of art which seem to imply a description of the whole world merely by insisting on a scrupulous gaze at one perfect instant. It functions as a time capsule and a mirror for its viewers’ souls, and so, despite personal and historical referential elements, has become permanently contemporary and universal. No surprise that it has now served as a point of instigation for a cycle of astonishing written responses; this book is like tuning the painting in like a radio, to a station where these responses were always already playing.”

Nice.
