The Art of Collaboration
Venus Over Manhattan is pleased to present The Art of Collaboration, an exhibition dedicated to collaboratively produced works of art. The Art of Collaboration marks the first exhibition dedicated to artistic collaboration in nearly thirty years.
The Art of Collaboration highlights a specific type of collaboratively produced art. Featuring work in nearly all media, the exhibition gathers collaborations by artists who maintain independent practices, and elect to collaborate beyond the scope of their individual productions. Variously describing personal connections, artistic affinities and conceptual attachments, many of the works on view testify to powerful relationships; others register the dynamics of influence, or complicate the notion of an artist鈥檚 signature style. Others still provide an arena in which to question authorship, or parse responsibility for a given gesture. Taken together, the presentation confirms the persistent presence of collaboration in modern and contemporary art, despite an artistic economy predicated on self-expression.
