"The Blue Print. From The Ground Up." Exhibition
apexart
This event has ended.
apexart once again partners with high school students from Satellite Academy to present their exhibition The Blue Print. From the Ground Up. The student curators organize all aspects of the project including developing interpretations of artists' work, writing publicity materials, and developing the exhibition theme. Through installation, new media and fine arts, these Curatorial Studies students explore works of art that address different relationships of power in the city. Students connect their personal experience and their life in New York City to visual and architectural manifestations of power and ideology around them. They will closely look at the architecture in their neighborhoods such as East New York, Harlem and the Bronx. Some of the topics explored are:
-Popular culture and Hip-Hop culture related to city planning and architecture
-The historical meaning and relevance of architecture
-Concepts of Utopia
