New York's Exit Art Has Its Final Exhibitions

Exit Art

I'm sorry to say that after 30 years, Exit Art is closing doors.  On March 24, Exit Art's final exhibitions open.  Every Exit is an Entrance:  30 Years of Exit Art, runs through the space's closing, May 19, 2012.  The exhibition documents Exit Art's history from its founding in a loft apartment on Canal Street to its current location in Hell’s Kitchen.  A second exhibition, Collective/Performative is an exhibition and event series focusing on performance practices that require the participation of an audience. The exhibition will include new works by eight commissioned artists and organizations that will utilize Exit Art's space during gallery hours for a public project, as well as an "artist's history" of performance art told by seminal performance artists who have exhibited at Exit Art.

It seems sad, but things end.
