"Exhibit A"
According to Wikipedia, "An exhibit, in a criminal
prosecution or a civil trial, is physical or documentary evidence
brought before the jury."
Calico, a new art venue in Greenpoint fronted by neighborhood
artist, Scott Chasse, is ready to present its case: art galleries are
still relevant, they're just different now. "Exhibit A" is the first of
two inaugural group shows at the modestly sized space located within the
historic Greenpoint Terminal Warehouse building. The evidence, in the
form of dual launch-party group shows "Exhibit A" and
As technology continues to be a game changer in virtually every
aspect of life, basic one-on-one human interaction remains
irreplaceable. Chasse, a working artist and arts organizer for the past
10 years, has learned that creating, presenting, viewing, understanding,
and appreciating artworks are evolving concepts and we live in a time
of full of unchartered territory jumbled with time-honored traditions.
Calico, referring to the type of cat known for its medley of
colors, will present a wide range of established artists and will draw
from Chasse's varied experiences over the years as both artist and
presenter. The space and the exhibits featured within it will not be
strictly DIY nor "white cube", but rather a deliberate mix of elements
from both. Fellow artists from New York, Boston, New Hampshire, and
Philadelphia will be represented in "Exhibit A" and "Exhibit B"
("Exhibit B" opens on October 19th).
"Exhibit A" includes works by: Morgan Anderson, Nancy Baker, Aimee
Belanger, Amanda Browder, Thomas Buildmore, Darkclouds, Kenley Darling,
Martin Esteves, KDONZ, Keely, Allison Maletz, Kenji Nakayama, Adam
O'Day, Wilson Parry, Cecilia Post, Gabriela Salazar, and Claire Typaldos
