AMERIŠAN DRE@M DREAM: A SURVEY
FEBRUARY 22
- APRIL 5, 2003
Business is great. Life is beautiful. I feel great.
Smile. Los Angeles Billboard
AmeriŠan Dre@m: A Survey is a large-scale exhibition
of more than fifty artists at the Feldman Gallery and a nearby
location. The exhibition includes established and less recognized
artists whose work unfolds against the unique background of current
American culture. The exhibition includes painting, sculpture,
installation, photography, film, video and the Internet, reflecting
the variety of tools available to contemporary
artists.
The American Dream, one of the most familiar and resonant
phrases in our national lexicon, has mirrored and shaped American
identity from the Pilgrims to the present, encompassing the idealism
of a formative democracy and the seduction of twentieth century mass
culture. The forces helping to shape our personal versions of the
American Dream include race, money, labor, intelligence, stupidity,
sex, high/low culture, luck, the most powerful military
establishment on earth, generations of voluntary and involuntary
immigration, the documentary protections of an elegant 18th century
constitution with its amended refinements, and over 200 years of
push-me-pull-you politics, to name a few.
The artists selected build their practices by speculating and
creating in that space between the American Dream and the American
reality. They scan the physical and cultural landscape of the United
States, responding to what they see, reverently and irreverently,
while at the same time keeping in mind the good, as well as the vile
and imperfect past, which has established precedence for their
creations.
Consider this exhibition as sited in the heart of that
fertile and contested patch of real estate known as the good and the
bad, the real and the unreal, or the present and the future -- more
simply referred to as The United States of America. How much have
the boundaries changed between the culture and the counter-culture?
Embracing diverse stylistic trends, the exhibition brings
together a group of socially engaged artists who critique the common
heritage that has molded them. The exhibition asks what is it about
this work that looks uniquely American and what exactly does the
American Dream look like when it is realized?
***
There will be an opening reception at the two locations on
Saturday, February 22, from 6:00 – 8:00. Gallery hours are Tuesday
through Saturday, 10:00 to 6:00. Monday by appointment. For more
information contact Laura Muggeo at (212) 226-3232 or
