Kick My Heart's Ass: Short Films About Love
February 11 - March 21, 2009

If the secrets to finding true love are often elusive, well, so are the secrets to making films about love. How do you inject humor into a film about heartbreak? How do you portray a happy romance without being too saccharine and oversentimental? Author and filmmaker Davy Rothbart, at work on a personal documentary called My Heart Is An Idiot, has asked a collection of talented and eclectic friends to explore these and other challenges by producing short, love-related films of their own.

With projects by Akay, Kyle Alvarez, damali ayo, Rachel Dengiz, Shaina Feinberg, Chelsea Hodson, Marc Israel, Sarah Locke & Ghostshrimp, Brett Loudermilk, Chris K, David Meiklejohn, Carson Mell, Amber Morris, Kel O'Neill & Eline Jongsma, Scott Patterson, Jessica Sanders, Dan Tice, Nicky Verdoodt, AJ Wilhelm & Jason Orfanon, Lev Yilmaz, Jenny Owen Youngs

SCRAWL
September 4 - October 11, 2008

SCRAWL consists of close to 100 different handmade pronouncements collected from the streets and subways of New York City over the past 25 years. The works on exhibition range from scary to silly, from terse suggestions to indecipherably complex amalgams of mathematical figuring, philosophical posturing, and political ranting. Whether the ideas are impeccably presented in uniquely beautiful calligraphy, or scribbled, illegible palimpsests, the creators all seek to have their ideas recognized, many silently urging their fellow New Yorkers to right wrongs both personal and universal.

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

Through visual elements and theoretical texts, the videos in this exhibition reflected on the application of appropriational technique to film. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
