Revitalizing spaces : unlocking creativity
NO LONGER EMPTY is an innovative project involving a group of artists and curators who are interested in exploring a new paradigm for making and presenting art.
A series of exhibitions and events is planned that will utilize multiple vacated storefronts and offices in Manhattan. NO LONGER EMPTY was conceived specifically to encourage an artistic response to our present economic condition and the effect on both the urban landscape and the national psyche. The numerous vacated buildings in New York City provide an opportunity for artists to revitalize these spaces with thoughtful, sustainable art installations.
“We see an opportunity here to create something positive from the current climate. Art can thrive in this environment and lead the way towards creative ways of thinking and dealing with these changes.”
The curators will be shaping a dynamic inter-related series of art installations, video works, sculpture, photography, painting, sound art and performance, installed not in traditional gallery or museum settings but in the public domain, suggesting new models of community art.
