“One Step Beyond: Art Off the Charts” Exhibition
Fountain House Gallery
This event has ended.
Fountain House Gallery (formerly Fountain Gallery), located at 702 Ninth Avenue and representing artists living with mental illness, announces the upcoming exhibition One Step Beyond: Art Off the Charts, showcasing music-inspired works from Fountain House Gallery, LAND Gallery, and artists based across the United States, from Connecticut and Virginia to Louisiana and California.
One Step Beyond is curated by Margaret Bodell, an arts entrepreneur working in the fields of placemaking, public art, and creative work-force programs; MaryAnn Fahey, co-founder and director of Umbrella Arts, who curates contemporary art exhibitions and public art projects and is a prolific bookmaker and portfolio consultant for professional and emerging artists; and Caroline Kerrigan, a producer of art fairs, exhibits and documentaries on the arts. Kerrigan was recently Deputy Director for the Public Experience at Prospect.3 – the international art biennial held in New Orleans 2014/2015.
This exhibition explores the pervasive influence of music on the visual arts – whether through lyrics, rhythm, syncopation, mood or simply the transformative nature of song. As listeners, we “feel” the primal force of diverse musical forms and styles, and the diverse artists whose work is represented in One Step Beyond invite us to “see” music through their eyes.
