Amy Ross @ Roebling Hall

Posted in 20x200, artists, elsewhere, exhibitions on August 27th, 2008 by kara

Jen Bekman Gallery art star Amy Ross is in a group show curated by Rita de Alencar Pinto. All Cut Up opens next week at Roebling Hall in Manhattan. From the press release:

ALL CUT UP signals an inventive curatorial approach, whereby the artists have been chosen not by a core theme or unified ideal, but in a process that mirrors collage itself. It is a mental collage of color, texture, scale, and wildly differing themes, which creates a raw and “unsupervised” look. The curator has cast a wide net, traveling all over the United States and Europe to draw upon a group of incredibly talented and varied artists. Each builds on the next, coming together by using the space in the gallery as a conduit.

Jen Bekman is vying for a panel spot at SXSW ‘09. You can help her secure this place by casting a vote for her proposal:

Curating the Crowd-Sourced World

Type: Panel
Presenter: Jen Bekman, 20×200 | Jen Bekman Projects, Inc.
Description: With all the stuff we weed through online, good filters are crucial. Who’s best-suited to determine what’s best – curators or the crowd? People have their religion about one or the other, however this panel will focus on the overlap, the grey areas and how curating and crowd-sourcing enrich each other.

Voting closes on August 29, so please, kind reader, give us a vote!
