New Perspectives in Contemporary Art is curated by Chessia Kelley and features artists Per Bilgren, David Brooks, Gabriel Martinez, Virginia Poundstone, and Gilad Ratman.
Bilgren's color photographs provide a glimpse into the world of conventions. His work reveals what is typically considered outsider personalities, at intimate moments. Concrete with Eggs by Brooks changes our perspective to one that is more long-term, conscious of our future effect on the environment. Martinez's chalkboard wall uses the gallery architecture as a descriptive receptacle for his Lucky Day project that occurred elsewhere in New York. His flower box sculptures also refer to inside/outside gallery space transforming the dividing tool of the police barrier into a cheerful pedestal for flowers. A site specific mobile by Poundstone proposes new ways to look at the world we live in. Ratman's video experiments with new, organic visual forms. The Boggyman presents the descent of the boggyman into a deep pool of mud recalling primeval, and strangely sexual imagery that is eerily familiar.
