Dumbo Arts Center is delighted to welcome A.I.R. Gallery during the exhibition, PIXELVILLE, a site-specific installation by Shirley Shor and Nivi Alroy and curated by Peter Frank.
A.I.R. Gallery is pleased to announce “Split Ends” a public panel with artists who come from places of conflict and whose work focuses on conflict. The panel will be held at the Dumbo Arts Center on Saturday, February 13 from 4PM until 6PM. The event brings together a diverse group of artists to meditate on issues of space and movement - both personal and national - in and across regions of violence and conflict, asking: How do images of space and movement in art manifest identity? Can art create an identity in a constant state of crisis?
The panel will be moderated by Michael Connor, an independent curator and founder of Marian Spore, and will include Neboja Seric Shoba, Mushon Zer Aviv, Hakan Topal, Sean Hemmermelle and Nivi Alroy. These artists work in a variety of media and disciplines, including sculpture and installation, photography, new media and activism. In order to initiate a thread of creative exchange and mutual dialog between the artists and the audience the program will be presented in two parts. A brief visual presentation by each artist will be followed by a discussion among the panelists. The artists’ work will be examined in the context of critical issues from their regions including the presence of borders in an age of globalization and the (thin) line between art and activism.
The program will be held at Dumbo Arts Center, 30 Washington Street, Brooklyn New York February 13, 2010 from 4PM until 6PM. Admission to the event is by a $10 suggested donation and is open to the public. The panel was initiated as Nivi Alroy’s fellowship project at A.I.R gallery.
