“Mercer Street” Exhibition
Fergus McCaffrey (514 W 26th St.)
This event has ended.
Fergus McCaffrey presents MERCER STREET, opening at the gallery’s New York location. Featuring Marcia Hafif, Joan Jonas, Shigeko Kubota, and Jackie Winsor, the exhibition brings together a selection of work by these four pioneering artists, residents of 110/112 Mercer Street, from the mid-1970s to today.
Crucial to capturing the history and creative development of New York’s downtown community, Hafif, Jonas, Kubota, and Winsor offer a generous cross-section of painting, performance, photography, and film spanning five decades. Singular in their approach and process, each artist shares an immediacy and intimacy initially bound by a common physical space, and ultimately realized by a rigorous feminist ethic that stands apart, in its proficiency and resiliency. Inherent in these works are immeasurable worlds of personal reference, action, and experience, which evolved together in a shared context with the many downtown artists and peers who moved through Mercer Street.
