The Blue Print. From The Ground Up.
May 16 - May 31, 2008

Through installation, new media and fine arts, these Curatorial Studies students explore works of art that address different relationships of power in the city.

They will closely look at the architecture in their neighborhoods such as East New York, Harlem and the Bronx.

Artists: Michael Dal Cerro, Michael Paul Britto, Karlos Carcamo and James Jaxxa

136. Dave Eggers
Lots of Things Like This
April 2 - May 10, 2008

This show explored a very small and specific type of artmaking exemplified by contemporary people like David Shrigley, Raymond Pettibon, Nedko Solakov, and Tucker Nichols. This kind of art, which we refuse to name, is somewhat crude, usually irreverent, and always funny. It exists somewhere between one-panel cartoons and text-based art.

Thinking in Loop: Three videos on iconoclasm, ritual and immortality
February 20 - March 29, 2008

The videos that are presented in this exhibition were produced between 2002 and 2007. Each of these videos combines a theoretical text that is written and spoken by the author and film footage, fragments taken out of different movies and film documentations. At first glance these videos remind the spectator of the videos and short films that are used today to transmit knowledge, to comment on the news, to spread religious and ideological propaganda, or to be used in the framework of education.

134. The (Self)Promotion Show
The (Self)Promotion Show
January 9 - February 16, 2008

In addition, all commercials were be on view as part of an innovative living-room-style installation at apexart from January 9 to February 16, 2008. The winning entry will have their commercial aired on network TV.

Land Grab
November 7 - December 22, 2007

As real estate prices have skyrocketed throughout cities of the world, it has become increasingly difficult to sustain a place. Some artists' responses to this situation mirror those of many practitioners in the sixties and seventies who moved to the margins to seek out an abandoned or still undeveloped site to live and work on an expanded scale. By contrast, no piece in LAND GRAB has involved a real estate transaction or finding that prime location.

132. Antonia Majaca and Ivana Bago
Stalking with Stories: The Pioneers of the Immemorable
September 19 to November 3, 2007

Every new telling of a story perfects its narrative but also rearranges, edits and moves it further from its original, authentic plot. What do we remember? How do we remember and retell stories of the past? How do we project them into the future?

131. The Most Curatorial Biennial of the Universe
The Most Curatorial Biennial of the Universe
July 7 - August 11, 2007

The Most Curatorial Biennial of the Universe was presented in response to two major social issues of our time: biennialessness and poverty. Through an open call to curators and artists, over 450 people became "with biennial." All works were available for donation. All 355 works in the exhibition were bid on and that nearly $13,000 was raised (in $10 increments) for the Robin Hood Foundation of NYC.

130. Luc Sante
The Museum of Crime and the Museum of God
May 16 - June 23, 2007

These objects will be connected by a text running along the walls of the gallery. The visitor can choose to engage with the exhibition either superficially or in depth. Either tactic is guaranteed to leave a subconscious residue of ambiguity and doubt.

129. ABACA

127. Elena Filipovic
Let Everything Be Temporary, or When Is The Exhibition?
January 10 - February 17, 2007

This exhibition brings together the work of a group of artists that consistently and very differently explore temporariness and, more specifically, the possibility of temporal instability in the work of art. This is manifest not so much as a subject, but rather as a constitutive element, shaping the artwork's fragility as well as the indeterminacy of an exhibition visitor's experience of it. Whether primarily motivated by the political, aesthetic, economic, or the intimate, these objects literally perform their temporal questioning.

Artists: Michel Blazy, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Gabriel Kuri, Oksana Pasaiko, Tomo Savic-Gecan, Joëlle Tuerlinckx

126. Thanks: Returning the Favor
Thanks: Returning the Favor
November 29, 2006 - January 6, 2007

Whether a gift for a superior, an inferior, a partner, family member or friend, issues of intent and meaning are part of the wrapping. This exhibition reconsiders the relationship of philanthropy, hidden meaning and gift giving. Ten local artists have each been commissioned to produce a "gift." A present for someone they don't know. The only restriction given was that it had to fit in the gift box we provided, otherwise we would show whatever they gave us, with no censorship.

Artists: Felipe Arturo, Nayia Frangouli, David Greg Harth, Vandana Jain, Matt Keegan, Kambui Olujimi, Lisi Raskin, Paul Wirhun, Joe Scanlan, Alejandra Villasmil

125. Andrea Grover
Phantom Captain: Art and Crowdsourcing
October 18 - November 25, 2006

Phantom Captain explores art collaboration that involves amateur groups of individuals responding to “crowdsourcing” initiatives created by artists. The term crowdsourcing was coined by Jeff Howe and Mark Robinson of Wired Magazine and describes “user-generated content,” or outsourcing labor to armies of amateurs. While crowdsourcing is becoming common practice in business (see Howard Rheingold’s Smart Mobs), its potential is also being harnessed by artists to create communal artworks.

Artists: Jeff Howe, Peter Edmunds, Harrell Fletcher and Miranda July, Aaron Koblin, Davy Rothbart, Allison Wiese

Artists: Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard, Jonathan Monk, Yoshua Okon, Joao Onofre, Mario Garcia Torres, Francesco Vezzoli

123. Alexander Nagel

Sweet Taboos: A Mini Tirana Biennale in New York
May 24 - July 1, 2006

This "mini" version of the Tirana Biennale asks: What happens to inhibitions in today’s swell of globalization? Does the old Polynesian term “taboo” still have meaning, or have such notions disappeared in the “everything goes” drive of global Capital? To what extent do the power structures of our society differ from those of the past, and is history still relevant?

Artists: Adel Abdessemed, Ivan Grubanov, Sejla Kameric, Armando Lulaj, Suela Qoshja, Joanna Rytel, IngridMwangiRobertHutter
