Until Sun. Nov. 6: American Idolatry at Invisible Dog Art Center
For the next few days, American Idolatry will transform the Invisible Dog Art Center in Brooklyn into a house of worship.
Throughout the week, the public will be invited to view artworks and performances, and partake in evening educational programming, as curated by Legacy Russell and a diverse team of up-and-coming artists, academics, and cultural producers.
The artists of American Idolatry will make use of physical action, installation, and experimentation to assert spaces with a shrine-like religious artifice that, though constructed, will strive to function as “real†sites of idolatry, worship, and remembrance of America and its rich socio-cultural histories.
American Idolatry will feature the work of Danielle Abrams, CHERYL, Jonah Emerson-Bell, Ryan Frank, Danny Ghitis, Christopher Gideon, Lizzie Gill, Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich and Diane Exavier, Sam Keller, Jason Lazarus, Maia Murphy and Eli Dvorkin, Jacqueline Hoang Nguyen, Rance Palmer, Sandra Payne, Kaitlin Kylie Pomerantz, Kenya (Robinson), and Legacy Russell. The artists will reflect on what the notion of America and American identity means to them, as influenced by pop culture aesthetic and contemporary politics.
