"Summer Affair" Exhibition
fordPROJECT
This event has ended.
fordPROJECT presents the opening of Summer Affair, a group exhibition featuring works by Alessandro Belgiojoso, Winston Chmielinski, Shin il Kim, Virginia Overton, Manuela Paz, Christopher Saunders, Stephen j. Shanabrook/Veronika Georgieva, and Zdravko Toic. The exhibition takes place in the gallery's penthouse, recently restored and designed by architect Rafael de Cardenas for the fordPROJECT.
The exhibition showcases the talents of eight artists through the conceit that the display was curated by a duo of "fantasy collectors" in the midst of a summer affair. The couple, referred to as He/She, focus their selection on the display qualities of specific works, as well as how the viewer engages and lives with the art. It is an examination, both playful and serious, of how art is valued for its form and color as much as its content and authorship. The fordPROJECT penthouse was once a residential apartment, inhabited by passionate and tragic lovers, thereby adding to the domestic quality of the viewer's experience.
