Exhibitions, United States, New York City, 05 June 2010
Opening June 5, No Longer Empty will invite visitors to The Sixth Borough, a series of site specific art installations curated for the 2010 summer art festival on Governors Island. The theme for NLE’s exhibition on this former military base, evacuated by the Coast Guard in 1996, was developed from the Island’s apparent stasis and its marked contrast to the teeming growth of neighboring Manhattan. With its abandoned genteel homes, library, movie-theater, church, shops and fortifications, Governors Island seems to have managed to keep the enemy of time at bay.
Curated by Manon Slome and Julian Navarro, The Sixth Borough explores this paradox and the parallel realities of the mainland and the island, which exist in spatial proximity but in different states of being. Visitors feel this sense of dislocation from the moment they step off of the ferry. Multiple artistic interventions and perspectives including installation, painting, photography, film and performance will move the visitor through the island's structures, exploring notions of memory, residual entities of the past and transitions between worlds.
Participating artists include
Amelia Biewald, Mary Walling Blackburn, Daniel Bozhkov, Adam Cvijanovic, Teresa Diehl, Pablo Helguera, Kaarina Kaikkonen, Andrea Mastrovito, Alan Michelson, Natasha Johns-Messenger, Clive Murphy, Trong Gia Nguyen, Luis Gonzalez Palma, Marina Rosenfeld, Raimundo Rubio, Vadis Turner, Monika Weiss, and Wendy Wischer.
In the Island’s theater, an accompanying film program curated by Regine Basha, Not a place, an Outlook, will be on view selected weekends. A full program of events as well as well as information and schedule can be found at www.nolongerempty.org
Film Artists
Julieta Aranda, Christoph Cox, Luke Fowle, Peter Hutton, Jenny Perlin, Steve Roden, Javier Tellez, Erin Shirreff.
