WHERE AM I?

The tactile experience of sculpture works by

-LYNNE MAYOCOLE-BOB CLYATT-HEATHER WESTON -JOAN FINE-




Opening Reception: FULL MOON. Friday, 11/11/11. 8-11PM

Tribes Gallery: 285 East Third St. Between Ave C and D. LES.

November 11- January 5, 2012 Come experience art on the Lower East Side. Steve Cannon, the blind, bohemian L.E.S legend is founder of Tribes Gallery, located in his Third St. apartment. It served as a non-profit institution to young artists and writers for two decades. Mr. Cannon went blind in the early nineties. He's been known to demand, half-jokingly "Where am I?" frequently reminding people "I can't see a goddamn thing!"


The concept of the show is to simulate his experience with art, the experience of being one of what is sure to be very few, perhaps the only, blind gallery owner.




The room will be dark and filled with fog. Video installations will dance on the walls, and live music will accompany attendees as they're guided through a labyrinth of various sculpture works. From Bob Clyatt's more traditional expressions of human form, to Joan Fine's towering, gaunt creations, all things new and foreign embody a unique perspective: experiencing art without vision.




The opening of Where Am I? is a communal experience, not a traditional exhibition. The art will be displayed in a conventional manner beginning on November 12th, with the show running though January 5th. The art is being auctioned at the closing date.
