This exhibition is a visit. Revisiting the city that has influenced and shaped her understanding of art - a homage to artists that have become friends, people she admires. For this exhibition Lynn S. Battaglia invited eight of her favorite New York artists to come together in a space on the Lower East Side.
This exhibition is her love letter to this city whose community of artists is ever so present and which influenced and continues to influence artistic practices like no other. The city and it’s artists are in constant flux: Were were all there in this same city at this one time and we all keep on moving away from it and are drawn back by it. For a short moment in time, it will all line up like we are all meant to be: I love you, but I will always leave.
Lynn S. Battaglia is a Swiss curator, currently living and working in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. She is co-founder and curator of the inclusive feminist movement ‘She Performs’. She has worked in galleries around the world and curated several exhibitions internationally.
