Exhibition: Terrorvision examined how definitions of terror are shaped by individual and collective visions, experiences, memories, and histories. This exhibition explored how personal, spiritual, and physical events influence our notions of terror and how these unforgettable moments, and the cultural and media artifacts that represent them, have come to define our most extreme fears. This exhibition aimed to explore how these definitions and relationships are transformed and determined by geography, generation, and personal experience. Terrorvision was designed to serve as a study of terror as depicted through the ingenuity and inventiveness of today’s artists. Thirty-five new visual works were presented alongside an ongoing video program, discussion series, and special video screening events.

Exhibition: Proposing new possibilities for the genre of public art inspired by accessibility to and proficiency with technological tools and their impact on cultural production and social systems, the works in this exhibition existed predominantly outside the conventional white cube gallery space. Works “on view” were integrated into the facade of the Exit Art building, off-site in outdoor spaces and various arts institutions and retail stores, on the internet, and through a series of interventions, performances, video programs, and panel discussions addressing a range of topics proposed through the exhibition.

Exhibition: The office of the President of the United States is one of the most visible positions in the world. The President symbolizes not only the characteristics and abilities of the nation, but also the substantial power that influences world and domestic affairs. The President governs our country, oversees our government, impacts our lives, and shapes our future. For The Presidency Exit Art asked artists to put into a visual feeling their concept of the presidency.

 

The president is the body of the nation. Who is this individual who every four or eight years changes? How does that change the image the country has of itself? How does it affect how other countries see us? Who is your ideal president? Who runs the country? What is the structure of the government? What is the role of the cabinet? How and by whom is the president elected? What can we do to control that power? Is the presidency a symbol more than the person, a portrait of the power of the country? This exhibition was about knowing the rules of government, interpreting them, and giving our opinions.

Exhibition: Since 1995, Exit Art has annually produced a limited edition set of individually hand-worked artist prints. Created exclusively for Exit Art, each portfolio matches younger and more established artists and includes at least one artist working in the print medium for the first time. Many of the artists have taken the opportunity of working in Exit Art's print editions to experiment with the printmaking medium, pushing the boundaries of contemporary printmaking through different processes, materials, and form. The entire collection can be seen as a history of contemporary printmaking. These exceptional editions are collected by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art and MoMA, as well as important private collectors and first time collectors alike. The annual benefit print portfolio helps support Exit Art's innovative exhibitions, programs, and special initiatives. The Print Show will feature all eight benefit portfolios: Six x Four (2004), In the Year Three (2003), Two O O One (2001), twoandthreezeros (2000), Exit 99 (1999), EXIT 8 (1998), Way In Way Out (1997), Way Cool! (1995)
