SUMMARY:Art Take-Over at Westbeth: Three Dormant Spaces\, Three Art Exhibitions - One Event
DESCRIPTION:Click to enlarge. Photos on poster by David Plaake. \nJune 20 – July 14\, 2024 \n Hours:\nFriday\, Saturday\, Sunday 1pm – 6-m \n\nWALK AND TALKS:\nSaturday July 13\, 2024\nThere is a Crack in Everything at 3pm\nEx Femina at 4PM\n\nArt Take-Over is part of West Side Fest \nEx-Femina\nCo-curated by Valérie Hallier and Noah Trapolino\n*Located within Westbeth’s former child care center \nEx-Femina\, Latin for “from woman\,” encapsulates the profound transformation in the portrayal of femininity and the female gaze within contemporary art. This evolution is not merely a shift in representation but a reclamation of agency\, identity\, and perspective. \nInternational artists of various genders explore\, through mediums including sculpture\, painting\, photography\, collage\, drawing\, diorama and textile art\, facets of womanhood beyond the confines of objectification and passive observation. They depict women as subjects with complex narratives\, desires\, and emotions. Through figurative and abstract forms\, they explore themes of fertility\, nature\, animality\, intimacy\, technology\, spirituality\, consumption and trickery among others. \nEx-Femina inclusively and playfully celebrates the multifaceted nature of the female experience beyond conventional constructs. \nExhibiting artists include: Louisa Armbrust\, Aisha T Bell\, Amy Butowicz\, Martin Campos\, Tiffany Cole\, Ursula Endlicher\, Natasha Gornik\, Valérie Hallier\, Lily Hyon\, Daniel Maidman\, Jody MacDonald\, Shiri Mordechay\, Serena Nickson\, Agnès Pezeu\, Roxane Revon\, Morgan Suter\,\nElizabeth Tolson\, and Noah Trapolino. \nThere is a crack in everything\nCurated by Valérie Hallier\n*Located within Westbeth’s former Synagogue space \nThere is a crack in everything regroups contemporary artists working in installation\, sculpture\, drawing\, painting\, photography and video art. The show stages the duality of existence\, with some artwork emerging from darkness while others bask in the glow of light. The title\, inspired by Leonard Cohen’s lyrics\, serves as a metaphor for the inherent imperfections and vulnerabilities within our reality as well as within the previously dormant space the show populates and brings back to life. \nThe vast space still shows its defects as the artists imprint their own realities and dreamscapes onto its rough edges and surfaces\, but there is transformation\, instability\, there is expectation. We undulate between chaos and order\, soft and hard\, organic and artificial\, light and darkness. Nothing is fine\, but you are.\n\nExhibiting artists include: Santina Amato\, Amy Butowicz\, CHiKA\, Claudia Cortinez\, Jean Foos\,\nTom Fruin\, Tessa Grundon\, Valérie Hallier\, Leslie Kerby & Lianne Arnold\, Christina Massey\,\nJoseph Morris\, Anne Muntges\, Aston Philip\, Matthew Schlanger\, and Etty Yaniv. \nThere she lay\nCurated by Claire Felonis\n*Located within Westbeth’s former sculpture studio \nThe Westbeth building\, originally home to Bell Labs\, was partly submerged underwater during Hurricane Sandy. Drenched in history\, it serves as the ground of this group exhibition emerging from the depths of collected memory\, material investigation\, human identity and metamorphosis. \nThe amalgamation of these six artists’ practices manifests in a dystopian world\, which may have never existed at all. There she lay becomes a multidimensional dream-space suspended in time\, where false artifacts are unearthed\, strange fantasies lurk beneath the surface\, and secret languages are whispered under crashing waves. \nExhibiting artists include: Earth Ængel\, Vinny Castro\, Sasha Fishman\, Adrienne Greenblatt\, Gitte Maria Möller\, and Andreia Santana. \nCreative spaces available for lease through exclusive broker Denham Wolf\nContact Kate Hrbosky Email: Khrobsky@denhamwolf.com Tel: 646 814 8856
