MASH UP
TASTES LIKE CHICKEN ART SPACE (In EAST WILLIAMSBURG) 300 Morgan Avenue, 11211
OPENING RECEPTION  MARCH 9    8 – 10 P.M.

The chosen curators each select four artists, and bring some of there work to the gallery. Then, the work is mashed up into new works, completely taking the artists work out of its original context. The final works of art are created by the curators themselves, demonstrating the pressure and sometimes overbearing presence that can exist in the relationship between the curator and the artist. This relationship can bring out the best in the artist and the curator, and at its worst, strip the artist of their identity in their own work. The delicate balance between artist and curator is then underlined by taking their relationship to an extreme point.
