EXIT ART INVITES YOU TO PARTICIPATE - PLEASE FORWARD
R E A C T I O N S
November 2001
We are living in a
historical moment. The essence of life has changed. The world's psyche has been
irrevocably altered.
In this new era, Exit Art, as a cultural space near the World Trade Center, feels an obligation to interpret or translate the feelings of a larger community into a collective expression of analysis. We want to know how the events of September 11 have altered your behavior -- toward others, your city, your daily life -- how the events changed your perception of reality and the world around you.
A change of behavior is a change of culture, which is why Exit Art is organizing a global project called REACTIONS. This project aims to be an international response from both inside and outside the art world, a reflection of how these events have changed your life.
We want to hear and share your reactions.
We are inviting you to participate in REACTIONS by submitting your response on a flat, 8-1/2 x 11" sheet of paper. Your submission can take the form of a letter, text, drawing, poem, painting, collage, photograph, or any other format that can fit on a piece of paper. REACTIONS will be an exhibition on view at Exit Art in New York City from January 12 - March 30, 2002. All responses will be exhibited.
Your visual and poetic work will be put into a context of historical witness. We hope that like us, you feel a sense of urgency to respond and participate in this necessary, collective expression.
Your effort will be valued; your voice will be heard.
