The Architecture Lobby will be staging it’s first public action in New York at The Ronald Feldman Gallery, currently staging an exhibition called Labor Intensive. The exhibit, curated by Elaine Angelopoulos and Scott Vincent Campbell, highlights art work that focuses on issues of labor that expand the defined role it plays in our individual lives and society. The exhibit features artists Eleanor Antin, Conrad Atkinson, Joseph Beuys, Heather Cassils, Nancy Chunn, Christine Hill, Simone Jones, Komar & Melamid, Mierle Laderman Ukeles, and Hannah Wilke. All the work in the show approaches labor from different viewpoints, but the curators also highlight the beauty and dignity in the work and its potential to be powerful forces for change.
The event will take place Thursday, July 17 from 6:00–8:00 p.m. at the gallery (31 Mercer Street, between Grand and Canal streets). The gallery will graciously provide wine and appetizers. Come and meet the members of the Lobby and hear about its labor manifesto and future planned actions.
UPDATE 7/21/14: It was great to debut in New York at the Ronald Feldman Gallery. Thanks so much to the gallery for its generosity and to those that have come to learn more about our efforts. See below for a selection of images from the event.
