Upcoming Exhibitions:

You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real): The Work of Robert Blanchon

Curated by Sasha Archibald, Tania Duvergne, and Bethany Martin-Breen

November 19 - February 26, 2010

Tracey/Barry Gallery, Bobst Library 3rd Floor
Opening reception: Tuesday, December 1, World AIDS Day. 6:30 - 8:00.

This exhibition presents the work of the late conceptual artist Robert Blanchon (1965-1999). For the first time, Blanchon’s photographic work, mail art, video, and sculpture will be shown alongside a selection of archival ephemera and source materials. This material, drawn from the Robert Blanchon Estate, which was recently acquired by the Fales Library, occasions a new appraisal of Blanchon’s artwork and pedagogy—its witty and insightful treatment of love, memory, and mortality, set within the context of the 1980s and 1990s artworld. Blanchon’s rich and varied corpus speaks to the history of conceptualism and appropriation, the relationship between politics and art, and his own identity as a queer, HIV-positive artist. An exemplar of his time, Blanchon’s work continues to resonate in our contemporary context.

The exhibition is free and open to the public

Kicking Culture Fragments from the Downtown scene, 1975-Present: The Downtown website is an attempt to provide quality online information about the Downtown New York Scene from 1975 to the present. It is based on materials in the Downtown New York Collection at the Fales Library of New York University. The Downtown Collection is the only collection of its kind at a major research university. The goal of the collection is to document the Downtown scene and to preserve and make available for research the materials produced by the artists, writers, performers, and others who worked downtown. The website will continue to grow as the collection does.
