Sam Effler
Artist Bio
Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio Sam Effler lives and works in Ridgewood. He paints, makes wooden sculptures, ceramic objects, and a mean batch of sauerkraut. While playing in the dustbin of declining empire, he seeks to inform old archetypes enough to craft new narratives, or at least mock the old ones to death.
Fallow Frames Biennial 2024
July 13 — 14, 2024
Ridgewood, Queens NY
2pm — 7pm
24 Empty Tree Beds - 25 Participating Artists
Ridgewood’s sidewalks have over 800 empty tree beds - or roughly one for every 90 residents.
The Fallow Frames Biennial is an upcoming public art festival that will be held on July 13th and 14th, where local artists are invited to use 24 abandoned tree beds to stage site-specific installations and performances.
Visitors are invited to wander the neighborhood as active participants in a larger narrative of renewal and artistic expression - and to spark conversations about urban ecology and these small neglected patches of the city’s landscape.
