Exhibition: The Studio Visit exposed over 160
artists’ workspaces
through short videos created by each of the artists. Critics, curators,
collectors, and friends regularly visit artist’s studios;
The Studio Visit revealed this intimate experience to a greater
public. For the exhibition, Exit Art invited a group of national
and international artists to make a short video on the subject
of their studio with the purpose of exposing a fragment of their
personal space and modus operandi. The video camera became the
eye of the artist, recording and revealing the personal items he/she
finds interesting and important to show to the public. The 160
featured videos were exceptionally diverse; from straightforward
documentation of the studio to short fictional narratives to feats
of performance to computer animation to 24 hour stop motion video
of daily routines.
In addition to the videos, seven artists transformed Exit Art’s
10 x 5 x 10 foot window spaces into work places for the course
of the exhibition.
The Drop

Curator(s): Papo Colo and Jeanette Ingberman

Exhibition: The Drop was an exhibition and public program series
that focused on what many environmentalists consider to be one
of the most important issues of the 21st century, water and its
controversial role in the global environment.
The Drop was a conceptual exhibition that posed questions about
the current environmental landscape in order to foster a deeper
understanding of our natural resources and environment. The debates
and concerns over the sustainability of the environment have become
increasingly complex as systems for environmental erosion are constantly
in flux. Cross-disciplinary dialogues amongst scientists, artists,
environmentalists, conservationists, and historians are more important
than ever in tackling our current world water issues. The Drop
presented twenty-six unique perspectives that added to this ongoing
discourse.
Some of the topics explored in THE DROP included: global warming,
pollution, shortages, over-building, government regulations, privatization
of public lands and the subsequent degradation of our natural environment.
The multidisciplinary artworks and installations in this timely
exhibition project had a two-fold purpose; to inform the audience
about global water issues, and to propose ideas to reclaim, restore,
and remedy environments so that we can co-exist with nature.
WILD GIRLS
6/24/2006 - 8/26/2006
Curator(s): Papo Colo and Jeanette Ingberman
Artists: Alia Farid Abdal, Jaishri Abichandani, Francisca Benitez, Katia Damianova, Taylor Davis, Georganne Deen, Jenny Dubnau, Chitra Ganesh, Alla Georgieva, Kate Gilmore, Vlatka Horvat, Katalina Iturralde, Emily Keown, Saeri Kiritani, Tamara Kostianovsky, Katarzyna Kozyra, Simone Leigh, Jennifer Levonian, Wanda Ortiz, nicoykatiushka, Maria Piñeres, Ana Rosa Rivera, Monica Rodríguez, Boryana Rossa, Kristine Servia, Anne Spurgeon, Rosalin Suero, Mickalene Thomas, Traci Tullius, Pinar Yolacan
Exhibition: Wild Girls at Exit Art, featuring a bold international group of fearless, transgressive, provocative, challenging, pioneering, astute, fabulous, strong and obsessive women artists who are breaking new boundaries, asking challenging questions and creating groundbreaking visions of everything from gender issues to the mundane aspects of daily life. Building on the innovations of the women that have come before them, these artists are transforming the language of feminism for the 21st century. Each of these women artists adds to the global feminist dialogue as they bring their unique cultural perspectives that reflect customs from their countries of origin that include Argentina, Bulgaria, Chile, Croatia, Puerto Rico, India, Japan, Turkey and the United States.
The pioneering generation of women artists who called themselves feminists in the 1960s and 70s made work that confronted the viewer with the hard facts of female life. In the 1980s and 90s women artists became more aggressive in their dialogue of women’s issues by infusing media, such as LED signs, billboards, and comics, with their own shocking and personal messages. Wild Girls nods to previous generations, but casts a wide net of new names that give a collective look at the 21st Century woman artist. This generation displays a new strength and courage that addresses the familiar themes of identity, eroticism, vanity, and mythology.
¡VIVA LA MUSICA!
10/14/2006 - 11/25/2006
Curator(s): Pablo Yglesias
Exhibition: ¡Viva la Música! explores the evolution of Latin music album cover art over the last 50 years. Taking inspiration from Pablo Yglesias’ recent book Cocinando! 50 Years of Latin Album Cover Art, this exhibition will visually trace the history of Latin identity, culture and aesthetics through the display of over 300 albums. Some well-loved examples of Latin LP jacket design will be sure to inspire feelings of nostalgia, but others will speak to more social and political concerns.
¡Viva la Música! proposes that the album is not only an invitation to dance, but the record jacket is a piece of fine art worthy of serious consideration. In the words of exhibition curator, Pablo Yglesias, "Album covers provide us with a visual companion to the evolving soundtrack of Latin identity". ¡Viva la Música! will feature sexy, colorful, innovative and creative Latin record covers from all the various genres of Latin music including Mambo, Conga, Salsa, Barrio Nuovo and others. Featuring covers by legendary performers such as Machito, Tito Puente, Mongo Santamaria, Celia Cruz, and Perez Prado. But most of all, ¡Viva la Música! pays tribute to the numerous graphic artists who often times received very little (if any) credit for their album cover art. Latin LP cover artists include: Chico Alvarez, Ely Besalel, Warren Flagler, Ron Levine, Lee Marshall, Charlie Rosario, Yogui Rosario, Izzy Sanabria, Manny Vega, Jorge Vargas, Walter Velez, and many others.
CITY LIGHTS: NEONART
10/14/2006 - 11/25/2006
Curator(s): Papo Colo and Jeanette Ingberman
Artists: Tim Etchels. Hernan Marina. Kevin Curran, Stephan Krasner, Rocky Pinciotti, Donald Bruschid, Elisabeth Nickles, Khalil Chishtee
Exhibition: Over the past fifty years, the use of neon has grown from commercial advertising and signage to fine art sculpture and installation. In City Lights: Neonart, contemporary artists will explore the diversity of this vibrant and colorful light. Using the medium’s inherent graphic lines, the artists in City Lights: Neonart will use this flexible illustration tool to create bold text works, image-based wall artworks, animated displays, sculpture and more. Exit Art’s storefront windows on 36 Street and Tenth Avenue will feature the installations that will be viewable 24 hours a day.
INTERPLAY
10/14/2006 - 11/25/2006
Curator(s): Papo Colo and Jeanette Ingberman
Artists: Ernest Concepcion, Vlatka Horvath, Miguiel Luciano, and William Villalongo
Exhibition: Interplay focuses on four emerging New York-based artists whose work is equally defined in a multiplicity of mediums. For each of these artists, the expression of ideas in different mediums is a necessity. Interplay will explore individual bodies of artwork by these artists, as they strive to master artmaking in numerous distinct mediums, and at the same time, form a comprehensive artistic statement. Painting, sculpture, sound, installation, poetry, photography, drawing, collage and video are among the methods being investigated by these contemporary artists.
