An exhibition with Momenta Art, Brooklyn
On view at The UBS Art Gallery April 7 to June 17, 2005
New York city, March 2004—A new exhibition of contemporary art at The UBS Art Gallery in midtown Manhattan offers critical perspectives on architecture, urban environments and the relationship between public and private space. On view from April 7 to June 17, 2005 at The UBS Art Gallery (1285 Avenue of the Americas, New York City), Out of Place questions assumptions about life in the city, blurring distinctions between real and virtual, interior and exterior, natural and artificial, local and global. Organized by the non-profit art gallery Momenta Art in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and curated by Peter Scott, Out of Place will feature works by leading and emerging contemporary visual artists living and working in New York.
The exhibition will highlight more than 30 works of painting, sculpture, photography, video and installation art by 18 contemporary artists who highlight perceptual and spatial aspects of urban experience in their work, including Jennifer Bolande, Dan Graham and Robin Hirst, Louise Lawler, Craig Kalpakjian and others. Works on view will reference urban architecture in unique ways, using a variety of methods and techniques to focus on often-overlooked phenomena in urban life. Engaging with “real” sources or creating the illusion of the real through constructed fictional environments, many artists in Out of Place incorporate subtle shifts of scale or perspective into their work, altering expectations and transforming perceptions as they examine and analyze everyday environments.
Out of Place is made possible by UBS. |
