Carry On Feigen
(This explains some details about my first art exhibition opportunity in New York City.)
(The image above is a detail from work by Daniel Higgs.)
Carry On, co-curated by Rich Jacobs and Feigen’s Abigail Scholar, opens next week and I have been doing some research.
Jacobs has an extensive background, supported by Vans, and, overall, has been extensively curating shows on both the East and West Coasts. He is still exhibiting in shows (like the upcoming Juxtapoz NYC Show) and mentioned that after ten years of working as an artist, Feigen Contemporary is the biggest gallery he has ever dealt with.
Artists in the show include:
- Reed Anderson (San Francisco / Visual)
- Hisham Akira Bharoocha (Brooklyn via RISD via Japan / Musician, Visual)
- Mark Borthwick (a Musician, Filmmaker, and Photographer)
- Mat Brinkman
- Bruce Bickford (Seattle / Animator, Visual, Sculpture, Claymation Legend)
- Calef Brown (L.A. ? / Illustrator, Made some designs for OK Soda)

This list was extensive, but there may be more info at the exhibition website (as if any more info is needed).
