HERE COMES

Posted by Fabio 21 June 2012

The group of works presented in HERE COMES surveys how a shared perspective can inform individual practice, and how the collective experience brings special clarity to task of addressing open questions. “Our title is about the cliff-hanger,” explains Still House co-founder Isaac Brest. “Here comes what? We wanted to convey our vision of an exhibition as an announcement without a single subject, without a conclusion. We were thinking of Stanley Kubrick’s film The Shining, which transformed the famously upbeat opening of the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson – ‘Here’s Johnny!’ – into something terrifying. Our exhibition title suggests a frightening enthusiasm, the trap of anticipation, and the inherent incompleteness of such a project. Art presents challenges and questions to which no answers are readily available, and exhibitions are an invitation to think about possible answers.”

HERE COMES will be open to the pubic at 24 Washington Square North from Tuesday through Friday, 12PM to 5PM or by appointment.
