DOWNTOWN TRAIN, CURRATED BY WILLIAM CORWIN
PS122 Gallery, New York
The exhibition Downtown Train at PS122 Gallery focuses on the particular slice of downtown artistic production that engages with political or theoretical activism. It can portray, help, or transform the community in which the artist lives, or reorganize-along activist terms-the means by which art is viewed and interacts with the viewer. The artist inhabits many positions here: instigator, mediator, recorder, disruptor, interrogator, and/or ally. This show aims to catch the elusive kernel of interactivity between the community, localized social activism, and the surrounding environment within which the works were created.
