Following up on the success of Source– a late spring show at The Halls that showcased the work of seven emerging artists, curators Melissa Staiger and Susan Ross worked with Rossana Martinez–intrepid pioneer of Gowanus and co-founder of Minus Space– to develop a little post exhibition Q & A with the artists– all self-defined abstractionists, all completely different.

Hunter Satellite 2D, a group show set to open July 15th. The show features work by recent graduates of CUNY’s Hunter College MFA program in Fine Art.
The work included is no more than two spatial dimensions–whether on paper, canvas, a video screen or merely in concept.
What you’ll see: the guerilla photography of Jess Levey; Allison Evans’ and Noah Landfield’s densely layered oils; and the surreal video ‘advertisements’ by Amy Brener–in addition to Jo Q. Nelson’s site specific conceptual pieces and new work from numerous other, brilliant emerging artists.
