A.I.R. Gallery: The History Show, work from 1972 to the present, is curated by Kat Griefen and Carey Lovelace. This historic two-part exhibition brings together artworks by over 75 A.I.R. artists. These artworks are diverse in style, approach, material, and processes employed. Feminist content is evident in some works, whereas others are primarily abstract, conceptual, or minimal. This overview underlines the groundbreaking work that the gallery’s individual artists made in a range of new movements, such as environmental works and performance art. The show features the artists’ use of new strategies in their chosen fields and their innovations in the employment of unconventional materials. All mediums are represented: photography, sculpture, painting, performance, videos, sound work, installations, performance, and drawing.
