Co- Re-Creating Spaces

Co- Re-Creating Spaces surveys how artists are questioning and subverting existing contexts or spaces -– the law, the economy, history, the news, language, etc. -– and contributing to their re-imagining and re-creation. The exhibition recognizes that “reality” itself can be both art medium and art object, and speculates how developments in the virtual and the actual might affect one another. Participating artists: Morehshin Allahyari, Nadav Assor, Amy Balkin, Aram Bartholl, Zanny Begg, Oliver Ressler, Linda Bilda, Irina Botea, Martha Colburn, Michael Corris, Cassandra Emswiler, Kristen Cochran, Greg Metz, eteam, Cao Fei, Yevgeniy Fiks, Olga Kopenkina, Alexandra Lerman, Institute for Wishful Thinking, Martha Rosler, Dread Scott, the Yes Men & Steve Lambert, and Karen Weiner with Celia & Frank Eberle. The exhibition is curated by Carolyn Sortor and Michael A. Morris.
