SALVAGE
Opening June 21, 2014 from 3:30-8pm*
The Plant, 1400 West 46th Street
On Display June 21-October 19, 2014

Through paintings, photo-based works, and site-specific installations, the SALVAGE exhibition explores the metamorphosis of materials, objects, and/or concepts into a new means. Each exhibiting artist reinvents and reinterprets materials or concepts within their practice. All are stimulated by the notion of transformation. Each of artists’ works express varying visions of “Salvage” through conceptual methods, aesthetic tools, and/or through reuse of physical materials.  |  visit exhibit page

Exhibiting artists:

The SALVAGE exhibit is presented by AnySquared Projects & G Studio in cooperation with The Plant.

*Firebread a masked performance by the International Art Group Ensemble at 5pm at the opening event.
