Artist Run New York: the Seventies
March 9th - June 30th, 2017 

Curated by Jessamyn Fiore

Artist Run New York: the Seventies explores the transformation of contemporary art in 1970s New York. The exhibition looks at the vital role artists played in an artistic revolution that underscored multi-disciplinary collaborations that went beyond the visual arts to include performance, film, theatre, dance, writing and music. The blurring of these lines served to influence the trajectories of each discipline for decades to come.  

... through art, sublimation is completed in a way that
​my brain, my spirit, is totally satisfied
