Exhibition: Brock Enright, I AM SO PRETTY
Details: On view through May 19 at Club Rhubarb, 3 Prince Street, New York
By appointment
Club Rhubarb is an enlivening and unique curatorial practice, which centers on exhibitions presented within a domestic environment–resulting in settings that encourage community, conversation and cohabitation with art [Club Rhubarb, NYC]. What arises is an unexpected experience that leaves a residue of feeling–is it a reminiscence of an art world that once existed or an experience not yet accounted for, that we eagerly yearn for in a future?
On this occasion, Tony Cox, also know as Ron Littles and curator of Club Rhubarb, invites us into an unexpected journey to alight a stairwell and meander through various spaces in a multi-level New York townhouse, positioned at the reticulate corner of Bowery and Prince–a person lives here which makes this scene all the more welcoming. Brock Enright’s practice is oblique and of various media. You would expect chaos; things impounded into fleece, objects cascading across mirror and assemblage dangling from a ceiling–-there is a serenity in the world, a sublime feeling that comes from Enright’s formal considerations and discernment. The work is elusive. It is a survey of copious production. Arrive on time and set aside 30-45 minutes for presence to open.
