ArtSeen 13: Shelf Life
60 artists hung their shelf-creations on Artcite’s walls, working the idea and the materiality of “the shelf” in a show that pushed the boundaries of the creative process – some went so far as to make a couple of shelves!
Jodi Boatman: Even on a Clear Day, I Still Cannot Find You
Jodi Boatman re-creates a photographic narrative of the life of her grandmother, by standing in for her; an abandoned war bride who came to the states to find the American GI husband who had abandoned her and their child.
Allen Bukoff: New Fluxus Symbol Set
This exhibition hopes to help “refresh” Fluxus by providing a new set of visual symbols; and a new set of emotions/attitudes, to be associated with Fluxus – and help liberate/expand new Fluxus work beyond the original set of images that have come to be associated with Fluxus and that now tend to define and hold Fluxus in place.
