Upcoming Events:

 

Thursday, June 28th, 2007
Collaboration with A.I.R. Gallery
Annual postcard exhibition, Wish You Were Here.

Reception 6-8@ pm
A.I.R. Gallery
511 West 25th Street @ 10th Avenue, Manhattan

Because the theme of the exhibition is postcards and lends itself to things like nostalgia and communication, we decided it would be a good opportunity to collect the SEVENTY topics that the exhibitionists have discussed throughout our SIX YEAR HISTORY (!) and develop cards based on those topics.

16 Exhibitionists and two Italian filmmakers take on the NYC art world! 

Luigi Di Crasto and Santino Di Renzo of Without Papers Productions began filming The Exhibitionists during their 6-week collaboration for the Exquisite show at Naked Duck Gallery in the summer of 2003. The two Italian filmmakers followed the Exquisite collaboration process, filmed the opening night of the show, and subsequently interviewed 16 individual members over the course of two years. In addition to the 30 hours of material they filmed, Santino and Luigi pored through The Exhibitionists archives to collect photos, slides and other video footage that would help tell the story of the last five years of this group.

The Exhibitionists Are
features 16 members of The Exhibitionists, and focuses on their experiences and struggles with being visual artists, writers and performers in New York City. The Exhibitionists work together as independent artists to unite the visual, written and performing arts, and to host monthly salons in pursuit of fresh dialogue about the arts. MORE>>

  Whitney Biennial Invasion
Friday, March 12 @ 7-9pm
Whitney Museum @ 945 Madison Avenue (x-street: 75th Street), Manhattan
It is as crucial for us to be aware of the forces that shape contemporary artmaking as it is to engage ourselves in the greater dialogue of the arts, to get out and go to the galleries and museums, to attend performances and literary events, to read and experience as much as we can across all the genres. This is a staple when it comes to feeding our creative minds, and gaining the inspiration to continue making new work. This year's Biennial professes to be "reflecting on a reinvigoration of contemporary American art at a moment of profound change in our cultural landscape." MORE>>

Exquisite
July 11 - August 22, 2003
Opening Night: Friday, July 11 @ 7 - 10pm
Artwork & installations remain on view through August 22, 2003
Naked Duck Gallery @ 66 Jackson Street (x-street: Lorimer), Williamsburg, Brooklyn
Reminiscent of the Surrealists' cadavre exquis (exquisite corpse) process — a process that led to strange, unpredictable, sometimes grotesque results — Exquisite connects the divergent voices and styles of 12 artists, writers and performers. The featured Exhibitionists will link arbitrary creative elements, not by connecting lines from the previous participant, but by applying the same instinct to the curatorial process and the collaborative nature of the group show.
