"Today and Everyday" Exhibition
548 W 22nd Street Building
This event has ended.
X Initiative presents "Today and Everyday," a photograph, a group exhibition and also a zine. Beginning with a 4 x 9” exhibition announcement, the distributed image is a photograph – an aesthetic still life arrangement composed of the objects featured in the exhibition. The objects pictured range from singular design objects to pieces of art extracted from larger installations and sculptural still lifes. Assembled for the camera, with no input from the participants, the photograph captures a moment when art, design, and commercial objects co-exist on the level ground created by the act of collection - “value” has been neutralized.
In the exhibition space, the artists have contextualized their work, sharing the space with the photograph, which will also be exhibited as a singular artwork. Beyond the obvious curator/artist transition laid out with the creation and inclusion of the still life photograph, the participants and the works themselves allude to the relational nature of art, commerce, form and function.
