On view: June 25 – July 31
Resident Artist Austin Shull presents Reconciliation, a solo exhibition in the Wyatt Resident Artists Gallery on the Upper Level. This multi-media exhibition explores alternative historical narratives that unfold non-sequentially during the excavation of an 18th century stone-lined privy in the backyard of a former tenement building in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. The video reveals the collective investigations, interactions, and fantasies of its participants as they unearth a multitude of artifacts. Shown in tandem, is a series of large format color images, Reconciliation/Reconstitution, in which the discovered objects are documented as engaged in a play of fantasy and fetishism.
