Esopus 14: Projects

PREVIOUS  |  NEXT

Esopus Space, New York, NY, April 29–May 27, 2010

This group exhibition was related to Esopus 14: Projects, the 2010 issue of Esopus featuring contemporary artists’ projects from Erica Allen, John Baldessari, Suzanne Bocanegra, Jared Flood, Marcia Kure, Kerry James Marshall, Juri Morioka, John O’Connor, Roxy Paine, Judy Pfaff, Barbara Probst, and Fernando Santangelo. Each of these artists contributed work to the exhibition.

The majority of the exhibited work related directly to artists’ contributions for Esopus 14. Roxy Paine showed one of 16 drawings of dendritic forms that appear in the issue (one is reproduced as a removable 25" x 38" pull-out poster), and Judy Pfaff contributed an original photo collage that took the form of an eight-panel foldout in the magazine. Knitting designer and photographer Jared Flood exhibited the Exquisite Corpse garment he and five other designers created for the issue over the course of three months, and John Baldessari showed the six images from his Foot and Stocking series created as removable inserts for Esopus readers. Other artists, such as Suzanne Bocanegra (whose Recipe Card Library project in the issue featured poem-recipes she commissioned from 31 different writers) and Barbara Probst (whose Exposure #56 project graces 16 pages in the issue), contributed different work: Bocanegra showed a single-channel video related to the performance piece I Write the Songs, while Probst was represented by her Exposure #70 photographic diptych.

An opening reception for the exhibition took place on Thursday, April 29, 2010. The event also served as a launch party for Esopus 14: Projects.
