Radiohole, the company whose work Artforum recently praised as “both good theater and a good party”, is pleased to present the world premiere of EXPOSURE, a group show of visual art and performances exploring the body, with visual art curated by Robert Bunkin and performances curated by Radiohole’s Maggie Hoffman & Eric Dyer.
Robert Bunkin, visual art curator for EXPOSURE writes: “The naked human body is present in art from its beginnings. Nudity is often used as a metaphor for both innocence and corruption. Many cultures have made nakedness taboo, yet it is a subject that persists because it is so basic to our very existence. EXPOSURE presents five painters who explore the naked figure as a fundamental theme in their work.”

EXPOSURE includes visual art by painters Jenny Tango, Karen Kaapcke, William H. Crist, Ingrid Capozzoli Flinn, and Robert Bunkin. There will be a visual art opening reception Thursday, March 16th 5-8pm, and gallery hours Wednesday-Sunday, March 17th-25th, 1-6pm.

Performances curated by Radiohole will take place Friday & Saturday, March 24th & 25th, at 7pm and will include works dealing with the body by artists Becca Blackwell, Steve Cuiffo & Eleanor Hutchins, Alexander Paris, River L Ramirez, Kristin Worrall, and Ilan Bachrach.

Tickets to the performances are “pay what you can” and range from $5-25. Tickets can be purchased at radiohole.com or radiohole.brownpapertickets.com.

ABOUT THE COLLAPSABLE HOLE

Located in the West Village at the Westbeth Artist Housing complex at 155 Bank Street, the Collapsable Hole is an artist-run venue for the development and presentation of a wild array of cross-disciplinary performance. Presenting a year-round program of experimental performance, the venue is a collaboration between New York performing artists and companies including Okwui Okpokwasili, Mallory Catlett, Immediate Medium, Jim Findlay, Aaron Landsman, Object Collection, and Radiohole.

The Obie-winning Collapsable Hole was originally founded in 2000 in Williamsburg as a partnership between the Collapsable Giraffe and Radiohole. Claudia La Rocco in Artforum said it “incubated a dazzling who’s who of progressive theater and performance folks” including: Elevator Repair Service (first presentation of Gatz), Cynthia Hopkins (workshop of Success of Failure), Hoi Polloi (presentation of Shadows), National Theater of the United States (the first iteration of Chautauqua), Young Jean Lee, Big Dance Theater, Banana Bag and Bodice, Goro Tronsmo, Kate Valk, and Phil Soltanoff, as well as many of the current partners. https://thehole.site/
