Hybrid Thinking
Group Exhibition curated by Marc + Sara Schiller of Wooster Collective
(January 14—February 11, 2012)
Jonathan LeVine Gallery is pleased to present Hybrid Thinking, a group exhibition curated by Marc + Sara Schiller of Wooster Collective, in their first curatorial since the groundbreaking 11 Spring exhibition, in December 2006.
Hybrid Thinking brings together six preeminent emerging artists from around the world and for some it will mark their first exhibition in New York. The show features work by: Dal, from Beijing, China (now based in Cape Town, South Africa); Herakut, a duo based in Frankfurt, Germany; Hyuro, from Buenos Aires, Argentina, currently based in Valencia, Spain; Roa, based in Belgium; Sit, from the Netherlands; and Vinz, born and based in Valencia, Spain.
With a wide array of discipline, medium, style and cultural influence, work by the six artists in this exhibition is thematically cohesive in its related subject matter—through figurative pairings of human and animal elements, the artists explore concepts of instinct, identity and metamorphoses. In the curators’ words: “Hybrid Thinking refers to the current zeitgeist of our time: disparate cultures coming together to create something completely new. Though from distinctly different cultural backgrounds, these artists share an understanding of our cities, of the human condition and our complex relationship with nature.”
Opening Reception: Saturday, January 14, 7—9pm
