"And Your Very Flesh Shall Be A Great Poem" Exhibition
NY Studio Gallery
This event has ended.
The artists have crafted an installation that embodies themselves and their deep roots in New York's 1980s underground culture –while creating an especially relevant and radical practice for the present age. Born of an era where the squalor created by the economic crisis of the 70s and the dark forbidding spaces in the city spelled possibility and a gritty kind of equal opportunity, this DIY sensibility facilitated their unique, unsanctioned versions of identity and beauty as well as adaptive and sensual life.
While their individual styles vary, each of these artists has adopted their own unorthodox approach to their genres, materials and the place for art itself. This show seeks to create a more inclusive environment for art, redefining the art-going public.
Poised as we are at the brink of another potential period of hard times for NYC, this installation suggests an adaptive and humanistic opportunity for bottom-up growth. A lush and cacophonous soundscape created by Jacob Cox of MO$FO shall accompany the exhibit.
