Artists Ryan Fabel, Jake Cruzen and John Early are taking Aisle Gallery back to the ’80s — if only in title alone — with their exhibition Who Are Three Men Who Have Never Been in My Kitchen, a reference to an episode of Cheers in which Cliff Claven competes on Jeopardy and writes the question for the answer “Archibald Leach, Bernard Schwartz, Lucille LeSueur” as “Who are three men who have never been in my kitchen?” Turning the tables on the expected and finding alternate solutions, each artist in this exhibit explores the dialectic of the inside and outside. Works explore the epistemological boundaries of this problem ranging from the body and time, absence and presence and consumer participation. Opening reception: 6-9 p.m. Friday.
