"Public Trust" Exhibition
Flux Factory
This event has ended.
Public Trust is comprised of both artworks at the Flux Factory gallery and actions in public spaces and institutions throughout New York City, including re-enactments of protests staged by artists groups since the 1930’s through present day; a mobile pacifist library that will make the rounds to NYC’s libraries; recommended reading lists curated by incarcerated New Yorkers; physical audits of the dirt inside banks; and a pamphlet using the Hayden Planetarium Sphere to describe the space junk in Earth’s orbit; among other works.
This exhibition is a platform for audiences to experience something unexpected at a familiar cultural cornerstone, and to explore and/or interrogate the assumptions that institutions make about their relevance to our daily lives.
Curated by Christina Vassallo and Douglas Paulson, with special thanks to Carina Kaufman for production assistance.
