This work examines a statement on Jung’s social theory pertaining to collective unconscious. The theory reflects the unwitting imitation of social norms. It argues that norms exist because we cling to beliefs that are imparted to us from previous generations, which will conventionally be transmitted as well to our posterity, as these norms help us operate in the society. With one hundred colorful monkeys hanging from the beams, the work was modeled on the Barrel of Monkeys game, requiring a balancing act of cooperation and individual ability to win. Yet, clinging to each other for support and, not to falter, questions if the paradigm shift in the collective unconscious is truly possible.
Dear Ryf,
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Manhattan! Recently, we were familiarized with your work online. After reviewing it, we would like to discuss an opportunity of your possible solo exhibition at our space.
ARTIFACT is located on the Lower East Side -- the fastest growing art district in Manhattan with over 150 art galleries. It is close to the New York landmark Tenement Museum, and a short walk from the New Museum.
Our ground floor space has a dramatic exposure to a busy pedestrian traffic, which allows to exhibit the remarkable work of artists like you at the venue with a maximum capacity for proper presentation, marketing and sales. See it on http://vimeo.com/78958772.
ARTIFACT exhibits the work of mid-career and established artists. During a three-week solo exhibition the gallery covers essential expenses related to the exhibition space, installation, gallery infrastructure,
printing and mailing of invitations and an opening reception.
To further promote exhibitions, artists consider additional marketing options which they can afford, including an exhibition catalog at just $15 per book. Artists cover expenses related to shipping of their artwork.
Shall you decide that our space is an appropriate venue for your possible exhibition, we certainly would be pleased to consider it. For more information please visit http://artifactnyc.net,

Please feel free to email me if you have any questions.
Best regards,
Martin Bernstin
