Hidden Cities

  “Hidden Cities” at the New Century Artists Gallery in New York City from February 1 to February 12, 2011 with Lisa Phillips, Toby Devan Lewis Director, New Museum of Contemporary Art as juror.   National Juried Exhibition presented by the Women’s Caucus for Art at the New Century Artists Gallery in New York City from February 1 to February 12, 2011 with Lisa Phillips, Toby Devan Lewis Director, New Museum of Contemporary Art as juror. Artists were invited to explore their idea of their Hidden City, real or imagined, in an array of media, with the theme broadly interpreted from an activist, political or personal context. No matter our place in society, we all have our Hidden City, a place of refuge from gender, race, class and sexual exclusions, a place that shapes the feminist viewpoint. Some cities, like wrapped boxes, conceal unexpected gifts, others are riddles and lyrical abstractions. These are performative spaces where we may imagine retribution for injustices, righting wrongs or conversely, delving into the dark side. Lisa Philips chose 30 works for the gallery and an additional 18 for the catalog.   View exhibition catalog here.
