This event has ended.

OCCULTER announces “Black Beach”, its first exhibition as a collective. Kicking-off the Beach Box Summer Series at New York City's White Box. Both events will be hosted by Agency Antares and will feature live musical performances curated by Pendu NYC.

“Black Beach” will feature five artists: Nadav Benjamin; Jeremy Dyer; Derrick Cruz; Jonathan Goldstein; and Gabriel J. Shuldiner. Each artist will present large format works spanning the scope of digital constructions, mixed-media paintings, sculpture and site-specific installations. Smaller works will be presented as a “Consumables Shop” at the White Box-Universal Ltd. Editions Cafe.

In “Black Beach”, OCCULTER members introduce a council of tenebrous works as a call to worship at the feet of young mythologies still in flux. As symbolists in expectation of an uncertain future, each artist attempts to interpret consciousness or the incorporeal, with history (aesthetic, religious, political or otherwise) as a tool, not a guide. The installation as a whole evokes a self-reflective spirituality that longs for community as it also shuns it.

Contrasting the contemplative allusions in the art work, on opening and closing nights "Black Beach" will transition from a space of observation to one of participation, as a set of energetic musical performances curated by Todd Pendu of Pendu NYC fill White Box. In true Pendu form, the space is bound to become a "community dance party."
