Since 1976, only two years after A.I.R. opened its doors, the gallery has presented groundbreaking exchange exhibitions with groups of international women artists from France, Israel, Japan, Hungary and Sweden. Following last year’s exhibit of Swedish women artists, A.I.R. Expedition Sweden, the gallery is now pleased to offer the companion exhibition, Vestige: Traces of Reality. Of the exhibition, curator Jill Conner writes: “As globalization continues to unfold and decentralize contemporary art away from New York City, boundaries and subjects have shifted significantly, revealing a different set of socio-political concerns that are different than those from either one or two decades ago. ‘Vestige’ addresses the moving site and the constant changes that take place within the new narratives as well as the unknown. Moreover, this exhibition reflects the fact that contemporary art is now more concerned with the manner in which ideas are dispersed and less about the tangible present object.”
Artists included in the exhibition: Susan Bee, Liz Biddle, Sigrid Burton, Daria Dorosh, Regina Granne, Nancy Lasar, Jisoo Lee, Jeanette May, Louise McCagg, JoAnne McFarland, Catherine Mosley, Ann Pachner, Sylvia Netzer, Sheila Ross, Ann Schaumburger, Barbara Siegel, Francie Shaw, Elisabeth Munro Smith, Joan Snitzer and Nancy Storrow
