Counter Culture

A seek-and-ye-shall-find exhibition for the adventurer in all art lovers, Counter Culture partners contemporary artists with shopkeepers near our future home on the Bowery. Through site-specific installations by six New York based artists, visitors will be taken on a journey to examine the zones of exchange and cultural diversity surrounding this unique neighborhood. A self-guided walking tour will take people on a path to the "interventions" installed throughout the bodegas, kitchen and restaurant supply stores, Noho boutiques and other local businesses that make up this historical area of Manhattan.

Participating artists include Flux Factory, Ricardo Miranda Zuñiga, Jean Shin, Julianne Swartz, Marion Wilson, and Raul Vincent Enriquez, who will create a narrative-based walking tour for the exhibition that will be available as a downloadable MP3 on the New Museum’s website. A special brochure with map will also be created for the exhibition. Counter Culture is organized by Melanie Cohn.

A series of guided tours will offer a personal look at the exhibition while allowing visitors to familiarize themselves with the new neighborhood of the New Museum. Each tour will be led by the exhibition curator and one of the participating artists. Pressetext
