The exhibition will reference the legacy and the vibrant history of the East Village art scene of the 1980’s, and the legendary Times Square show, which brought installations by a host of East Village artists into the heart of midtown Manhattan, and became a worldwide symbol of art which moves beyond galleries and museums and into the streets.
