Prescient: A Five-by-Five Virtual Exhibition

Group Show

May 08 – Jun 19, 2020

“Prescient: A Five-by-Five (5x5) Virtual Exhibition,” features Eleanor Antin, Nancy Chunn, Yishay Garbasz, Mierle Laderman Ukeles, and Allan Wexler. The selected works, which were created prior to the COVID-19 crisis, speak to vital issues we face today, such as fear, isolation, anxiety, border containment, and reliance on essential workers. Although the works were created years ago, their commentary may be more significant now than when they were originally made. We don’t know what lies ahead, but we firmly believe that artists will continue to constructively point the way forward.

This exhibition is the first in a new online series entitled “Five-by-Five (5x5) Virtual Exhibitions” from the Ronald Feldman Gallery. Using the format of five works by five artists, each exhibition will feature twenty-five works selected through the lens of current pressing social, economic, and environmental concerns. We appreciate your comments via the social media links below.
