Decensortized comes from the notion that we are sensitized towards certain things and we are also censored by many things. Censored not in the traditional sense, but self-censored subconsciously. This exhibition invites artists to look within their own psyche and explore how and why they self-censor and in what capacity, and respond to, and showcase those concepts and discoveries.
This multidisciplinary exhibition includes work from Thordis Adalsteinsdottir ‘12, Mari Jaye Blanchard ‘12, Shamus Clisset ‘14, Peter Drake ‘06, Seth Michael Forman ‘04, ‘08, Judy Fox ‘09, Ella Gant ‘11, June Glasson ‘11, Michael Greathouse ‘11, Rebecca Loyche ‘10, Charles McGill ‘09, Karen Miranda-Rivadeneira ‘10 and Anne Muntges ‘14.
Rose Corsica provided in partnership with Entwine. Join us after the reception for happy hour specials from 9 – 11pm at Entwine, 765 Washington Street, New York, NY.
