This is a summer show for an 1860 farmhouse in Sagaponack, New York, with a title borrowed from a 1968 performance by Jack Smith. While a number of works will be installed in the house, even these will have a relation to the adjacent garden, the swimming pool, and the woods beyond. Many works will be outdoors, including some by artists who don't usually show in natural settings. Whether pre-existing or made for a particular room or location outside, all of the works will be considered as in-situ. The show, organized by Bob Nickas, runs from Aug. 14 to Sept. 12, and is hosted by Jose Martos. Participating artists include:
URI ARAN, DARREN BADER, HUMA BHABHA, CAROL BOVE, GRAHAM CALDWELL, RYAN FOERSTER, WAYNE GONZALES, JESSICA JACKSON HUTCHINS, JACOB KASSAY, JUTTA KOETHER, BILL KOMOSKI, MICHAEL KREBBER, JIM LAMBIE, DAVID MALEK, CHRIS MARTIN, JUSTIN MATHERLY, JOHN MILLER, JOSEPH MONTGOMERY, OLIVIER MOSSET, ELIZABETH NEEL, AMY O'NEILL, VIRGINIA OVERTON, BALDVIN RINGSTED, MIKA TAJIMA/NEW HUMANS, JOSH TONSFELDT, JOHN TREMBLAY, KELLEY WALKER, DAN WALSH.
