COLORS of NEW YORK CITY: An
Exhibit and Performance Depicting the Colored Harmonies of a City is a
meditation on the meaning of "color," revolving around four puns on the notion
of color - skin, objects, emotions and media. Rather than address directly the
changing perceptions of race, skin color will be explored as an instance (among
many) of color in today's cities. The exhibit will promote a dynamic
understanding of color and of race through photographs, audio recordings and
films.
Featured artists are Phyllis Allen - Harlem
Portraits, Beverly Britton - Harlem, Geneva
Burch - Harlem Hair, Bessie Davis - Flushing,
Terie Leo - Bensonhurst, Anthony Lewis -
Staten Island, Luz Magallanes - South Bronx, Lisa
Richards - Washington Heights, Prof. Jen Heuson - Fort
Greene, Jamie Kruse - Smudge Studio (guest), and Liz
Ellsworth - Smudge Studio
(guest).

"States of Longing" highlights artists that conceptually
work with love, lust or desire. Love is an expansive emotion that transgresses
boundaries, nationalities, gender and race and the central aim of "States of
Longing" is to show love in its myriad of forms. Specific works deal with an
owner's obsession with his dog, the need to be desired and be objectified to the
lack of love women have for their bodies to the physical need to have feelings
of desire for another.
