“I AM A PAINTING”
SPRING/BREAK Art Show, Booth 1010
625 Madison Avenue, NY, NY
Sept 8-13, 2021
“I Am a Painting,” is a group exhibition, featuring the work of four FRC Collective Consulting artists: Mat Gasparek, Debbi Kenote, Alicia Little and Mike Chattem. The artists come together to address a variety of perspectives on the topic of Hearsay, and in the process create a dialogue surrounding hypocrisy, painting and contemporary “American” politics. The title of the exhibition, “I Am a Painting,” brings into focus both the medium each artist works in and the tools these painters use to manipulate it. This process turns the traditional medium into a vessel of contemporary critical thought and exploration. The quotations surrounding the title question the bravado and historical weight of the medium, metaphorically turning it sideways and encouraging a discussion regarding what painting can and should be shown in the United States today.
