Francis Hsueh: Artist Reception for “A Compendium of Useful Machines”

You are invited to the Artist Reception for “A Compendium of Useful Machines”, which will take place on Saturday, January 17, 3pm-5pm.

I would love to see you there!

This project gathers paintings of machines I’ve either loved or observed. Their purposes differ, but we made them, we used them, and they make things easier, until they don’t. Technological advancements will relegate all of them to obscurity, some faster than others. We design a tool, until life calls us to innovate further. This show is a fleeting act of remembrance. Come celebrate these machines with me. Light refreshments will be served!

🗓️ Date: Saturday, January 17

⌚ Time: 3pm-5pm
📍 Location: Buunni Coffee, 213 Pinehurst Ave, NY, NY 10033

Winter is a wonderful time to spot resident birds and seasonal visitors as leaves are off the trees and activity is easier to observe.
