“Two Steps Forward” Exhibition
47 Canal
This event has ended.
organized by Debra Singer and Margaret Lee
Young Jean Lee’s two first films were screened in an otherwise empty gallery; a sparse yet domestic screening environment in which to take in Lee’s disquieting films about power, abuse, privilege, and entitlement. The film screening is now integrated within an exhibition that brings together a group of artists that are in an active dialogue with issues that circulate throughout Lee’s work and which often hone in on a fundamental question, “How do people deal with inhabiting the bodies they were born into?” The artists in the exhibition, like Lee, are distinctive and fearless in their approach to art making and in their lived lives, reflecting alternately an active sense of bold social commentary and an incisive, dry wit.
Young Jean Lee’s Theater Company would like to thank the participating artists and the following galleries: 303 Gallery, 47 Canal, Algus Greenspon, Bureau, CANADA, Jack Hanley Gallery, Mitchell-Innes & Nash, Nicelle Beauchene Gallery, On Stellar Rays, Rachel Uffner Gallery, Ramiken Crucible and Reena Spaulings Fine Arts. Proceeds from the sale of artworks will directly benefit Young Jean Lee’s Theater Company’s future productions.
Two steps forward, artists supporting artists.
screenings of Here Come The Girls (20 min ) and A Meaning Full Life (12:19 min) will continue through the run of the exhibition.
A Meaning Full Life was supported by a grant from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation to The Wooster Group with a focus on Building Demand for the Performing Arts through work with a Resident Artist.
