It’s not quite a liquid brunch, but almost because so much of what we are enjoying is beers “exclusive small batch” and cocktails. As the clock strikes noon at The Federal Bar on Metropolitan Ave, last Sunday, we start with “Beermosas” and a “Bitter Bitch” (Campari, gin pamplemousse, and lemon) and an iced coffee with bourbon, dusted with cocoa (inventions bearing morning-after names): “Was It Good For You?”

Jude Tallichet juxtaposes a life-sized vehicle, deconstructed into ten pieces, and a tall arch modeled from stacked ceramic plates. Cast in Forton—an acrylic based concrete-like material—these two large scale sculptures are ambitious physical feats. The work lies in an in-between or dual state, funky yet elegant, serious yet humorous, as are the six cast bronze iPhones with engraved phrases such as “There are many realities” or “I’m a little drunk.”
It is described in the show’s literature as “alluding to the shift in America from optimism of our old ‘open road’ culture to the present state of malaise.”
