The Artist is Absent
On Wednesday, February 11, we presented Kevin Esherick’s solo show, titled The Artist is Absent. Exhibiting two new bodies of work, Ablation Studies and Homages, the opening also featured a special Homage performance re-enacting Marina Abramavic’s ‘The Artist is Present’ where attendees had the opportunity to sit with the actress. The show is a deep exploration into how technology stands to reshape the roles of authorship and authenticity in our society, both in art-making and beyond.
View the show at 300 Broome in NYC’s Lower East Side from Feb 11 to Mar 14, and on our website.
