Not completely in agreement with this article, but does record the show we all worked on. I only have pictures of Aleem's side.
***NULL ISLAND*** was a duo-exhibition with Tsohil Bhatia and Shani Banerjee. Both artists have been working within meditative realms of photography, video, and sculpture in relation to the ocean and ideas of lonesomeness.
"With two walls of art flanking a table in the center laid out with various zines, art objects, and clothing and accessories for sale, the show — curated by Emma Vescio and PULLPROOF communications director Christina Lee — comes with a distinctively laid-back, unpretentious feel. Much of this is owed to the focus on combining so-called high-brow and low-brow aesthetics, with conventional approaches to art happily coexisting with bright, plastic, Lisa Frank-like flash."
I used to have a gallery above my closet. We had tiny exhibitions like this one. Fred curated this show.
*“Pocket is a collage and assemblage exhibition inspired by the precious and meaningless objects we carry around with us and the power of a collector to transform one into another. By shrinking the stage for these artworks to play on, the exhibition highlights the diminutive and the different ways small things can define, reveal, shape and connect us.”*
*By Means of Play* was an exhibition that explored celebratory and vibrant art-making as practices of self-care, expressions of joy, and political engagement. The exhibition featured both two-dimensional and three-dimensional works that highlighted intimate, joyful, and passionate moments.
