"Juxtacombo" Exhibition
NURTUREart
This event has ended.
Contemporary society is simultaneously liberating and suffocating. As curators approaching adulthood in the early twenty-first century, the Project: Curate! team has learned to cope with the chaotic surroundings of the digital age and find inspiration within it. They are deeply concerned with what makes every day experiences stand out from the constant exposure to advertising, music, movies, art, and other forms of popular culture – especially in an over-stimulating environment like New York City. Of particular interest to these young curators are the effects of unexpected combinations and how they become extraordinary or entertaining.
Juxtacombo explores the humor, horror and abstractions that result from unusual pairings, as well as the potential for unintended interpretations. The meaning of many of the selected works change depending on the viewer’s cultural context. The eight artists included in the exhibition challenge perceptions and examine the assumptions that are an intrinsic part of our consciousness.
