Jeanne Verdoux: How Soon Is Now?
Organized by Erin Riley-Lopez, Assistant Curator
The program, now in its 28th year, anticipates new artistic directions, as it celebrates the vitality and promise of new voices. Photography and video predominate this year as a number of these up-and-coming artists look toward trends in art-making practices. A range of other media including installation, drawing and painting are also represented.
A comprehensive catalog will accompany the exhibition, featuring essays by Erin Riley-Lopez, Assistant Curator at the Bronx Museum and the organizer of the exhibition, and Claire Barliant, Senior Editor for Modern Painters. Barliant’s essay will focus on the possibility of using the market as an artistic medium, and a way to challenge the status quo.
An annual event, the Artist in the Marketplace exhibition marks the Museum’s ongoing commitment to support emerging artists by providing unique career development opportunities. Over the last three decades, the program has served over 1,000 participants, including many like Whitfield Lovell, Glenn Ligon and Polly Apfelbaum who have gone on to establish international reputations. AIM offers a cycle of two sessions a year and culminates in a group exhibition of participants from both terms at The Bronx Museum. The exhibition remains on view through August 18. A closing reception is scheduled for Friday, August 15, from 6:00 – 8:00pm.
