Whackers and Hackers is an exhibition guest curated by Scott Scarboro. Artists have been asked to observe the simple form and function of a golf club and then create a non-functional club in another material. Clubs and putters constructed or embellished using glass, ceramics, cast iron, found objects and more inspired by the hackneyed tried and true.
The exhibit will be on view during the Ryder Cup (Sept. 16-21) which will bring thousands of Golf enthusiasts to Kentucky and the region. This event also runs in conjunction with 18 Art Holes: artist made mini golf which takes place at the Mellwood Art Center.
Among the participating artists are: Brad White, CM “Mike” Laster, Scott Scarboro, Jacque Parsley, Bonita Skaggs, Patrick Donley, Peter Malinoski, Aaron Conaway, Joel Pinkerton, Cricket Bidwell, Dave Bibelhauser, Lewis Meyer, Greg Seigel and Tom Pfannerstill
