Reimagining an Empire
While it feels like New York may be crumbling around us at times, The Cueto Project and The Bruce High Quality Foundation piece it all back together with a new exhibit called Empire, opening tonight and running through April 11th. They explain: "Concomitant with the impending financial meltdown of the galaxy, and in the spirit of elaborating on political metaphors by way of natural events, Empire re-imagines New York City as a pastiche of Utopian visions through photographic historical interventions, dis-temporal allegorical paintings, broken statuary, and unrealizable urban planning models." Looks like a lot of D.I.Y. Transformers to us!
The Cueto Project is located at 551 West 21st Street.
