Twelve framed photographs accompany their descriptions. A 42-inch television displays a slideshow of additional photographs, as participant voice-overs tell their stories in their own words. Open to the public free of charge through 2012.
Ideas City Street Festival
Republic Worldwide is excited to be working in collaboration with Fourth Arts Block and The Drawing Center who have commissioned artist Terry Smith to create Capital Revisited, a series of wall and window drawings of an architectural capital, referencing Capital, a large-scale drawing Smith created at the British Museum in 1995. Presented as part of IDEAS CITY 2013, the New Museum’s biennial festival created to explore the concept of an untapped capital, Capital Revisited will be found in sections around the Bowery neighborhood on unexpected indoor and outdoor surfaces. In this context, Smith’s project will be a poignant and mischievous investigation of the use and visibility of architecture in public space.

BAC, ArtSpace MCV, and NY@WAR present; Perfect Strangers
Curated by Tyler Campbell Wriston and Jason Patrick Voegele
In this age of fear, change, and uncertainty, it has become paramount to examine how we as individuals perceive the world around us—especially here, in a city of 8 million. Our lives are often defined by those we hold close to or work with; those that support us and form our personal communities, fostering what it is we conceive to be our identities. What is often forgotten, however, is how we are affected by our greater community: a network of strangers closer to us than we care to admit. We brush against them in the subway and exchange brief glances with them in restaurants or on the street. They breathe and feel and love and hate like anyone—everywhere and nowhere at once, veiled behind a simple handshake or kind word, we know them well, yet not at all. What, then, is the role of a “stranger,” and how do we, as artists, view them?
“Perfect Strangers” is an exhibition that examines the spectrum of responses to this enduring question. Interpretations ranging from tactile experiences to personal reflections on cultural bias and socio-economic posturing represent how our fears, desires and repulsions shape the nature of our acceptance of self, others, and the global community. Through the mediums of sculpture, photography, painting, printmaking, film and mixed media, a group of artists explore their own experiences with the “strangers” in their lives, and how they shape the world abounding.

To Benefit the S.L.E. Lupus Foundation
October 13 – November 10, 2006
Sometimes the most innocent expression can carry a suggestion of impropriety and occasionally what appears to be obvious revels itself to be something altogether different under the surface.
Indirect intimations have often been used by artists to convey complex messages or hide darker secrets than first glance might infer. It’s a trick that many of the great master artists of the past have used to incorporate their sexual, political and philosophical beliefs into work produced in cultural climates that did not openly tolerate the sort of messages they were sending to antiquity. While that was true for most of art history, we live in 21st. century America and our freedoms of expression allow for us to openly rise up on our soapboxes and argue for or against any message we choose. So why is it that artists continue to use innuendo in their work? Is it possible that saying something sideways can make a message more palpable than straight talk?
On October 13th, 2006 ArtSpace MCV/NYC explores this idea in an exhibition of paintings, drawings, sculpture, video and site specific installation simply titled “Innuendo” curated by Jason Patrick Voegele
Featured artists include: Burnet & Burnet, Nik Cartwright, Will Rhodes, Max Frechette, Katrina Ellis, Lauren Culbreth, Sean Mcloughlin, J.P.Voegele, Bryan, Allisandro, Denise Kupferschmidt and projections by Taras with special performances by Brooklyn Double Dutch and Hula Hoop team.
In conjunction with this exhibition ArtSpace NYC will be raising funds for the S.L.E Lupus Foundation and through the month of October your charitable donations will enable further research into better Lupus detection, prevention, and cures. Our intention is to create a better general awareness of this debilitating disease that often appears in so many different symptoms that it is difficult to recognize. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (S.L.E.), commonly called lupus, is a chronic autoimmune disorder that can affect virtually any organ of the body. In lupus, the body’s immune system, which normally functions to protect against foreign invaders, becomes hyperactive, forming antibodies that attack normal tissues and organs. Because its symptoms come and go and mimic those of other diseases, it is difficult to diagnose. I can personally attest to the life long challenges this disease poses to the diagnosed, their families and their loved ones. Lupus is estimated to affect 1 to almost 1.5 million Americans, 90 percent of whom are women. The S.L.E. Lupus Foundation and ArtSpace MCV/NYC both need your generous donations and contributions. At ArtSpace MCV/NYC we depend upon your donations so that we can continue to present you with the best New York City artists and events.
