in 1982 by Jeanette Ingberman and Papo Colo (the remarkable couple who are
still its directors),” says artist and senior editor of ArtInfo.com
Robert Ayers, “Exit Art has maintained a position at the critical extreme
of arts practice in this city, and along the way supported and disseminated the
work of a who’s who of radical arts innovators.” For
a quarter-century Exit Art has served as an interdisciplinary laboratory
for contemporary culture. Exit
Art continues to build on its past strengths: investigating the relationship
between art, history and politics. During the first ten years, Exit Art
presented artists whose work challenged and raised difficult questions of race,
ethnicity, gender, sexuality and equality. In their second decade, the
organization identified the emergence of a new generation of young artists with
diverse backgrounds and perspectives. Now, Exit Art looks forward to its
25th Anniversary year and the launch of many new and exciting
initiatives: v EXIT UNDERGROUND, a new
nighttime venue that includes a film theater and performance space located
beneath the main gallery v Introduction of the
CURATORIAL INCUBATOR, a unique program giving the next generation of curators a
venue and support to produce major exhibitions v EXIT ART’S DIGITAL
ARCHIVE, an on-line research and educational database of its 25 year history v UNKNOWN TERRITORIES,
Exit Art’s new programming initiative that reflects the convergence of
science, art and technology in contemporary culture An on-line catalogue will
be available for viewing beginning April 3, 2007 on www.exitart.org.
