Jonathan Durham is in the midst of his residency in Red Hook where he is generating new works that explore the literal translation of belief into radical action. Join us for a middling reception on August 31st. Visitors to the middling are invited to create Smoked Secrets by etching their secrets into wood chips; the artist will collect and later use these chips to smoke meat.
Join us Friday, August 26th for the opening reception of A HORSE WITH NO LEGS STILL MAKES HIM A WINNER. This will be the first of five nesting exhibitions built by galería perdida over the course of their project, Matryoshka.
Recess Activities, Inc. is pleased to announce Analog, our new online residency program. Analog will provide a sustained, virtual space that will expand upon Recess’s mission to support contemporary artists determining the visibility of their work as well as the parameters of its presentation. This new program will also allow Recess to continue supporting the creative process of contemporary artists while reaching out to online, international audiences. For the inaugural Analog residency, Kenya (Robinson) will begin work on a 2-year project entitled Remitting Default: a Psycho-Economic Performance of Getting Skoooooled. Set to begin this summer, the project will record the artist's two-year experience as a black MFA student at Yale University while struggling to maintain her personal finances and secure fiscal support. Kenya will make her private education public, posting a daily record of the available balance in her personal checking account.
Believe it! Jonathan Durham's project, Them That Believe, has been extended till September 24th. Head to 133 Imlay Street in Brooklyn to see Durham's ongoing explorations into the translations of belief into radical action.
