What do actor Susan Sarandon and Manhattan/Provincetown artist Barbara Cohen have in common? That most utilitarian of objects, ping-pong balls. When Cohen, showing drawings and a sculpture of the little vellum spheres at the Cape Cod Museum of Art, got tipped off from a Chelsea art collector that Sarandon owned a nearby ping-pong social club called SPIN, she thought, “Wouldn’t it be kind of "trippy" to show right there: surprise players with a ping-pong pop-up gallery.”
The show of monumental ping-pong drawings and sculpture, starring a motorized conveyor belt that keeps hundreds of hand-drawn balls in constant motion, opens Nov. 4, 6-9 p.m. Sarandon thinks it’s a “perfect marriage.”
SPIN is located at 48 E. 23 Street, New York.
