Introductions Opening Reception
The Gallery at BAG is proud to present
Introductions, an exhibition highlighting emerging artists in New York City.
The artists participating in Introductions have each received a BFA or MFA within the
past two years, and many are also participating in Brooklyn Artists Gym’s ‘Recent
Graduate’ program. For many of the artists, this is their first exhibition outside of an
academic setting. Because the artists work in a wide range of mediums and styles,
Introductions is a varied and dynamic show.
Please join The Gallery at BAG for the opening reception of Introductions on Saturday,
December 17th from 6pm – 9pm.
For a list of participating artists, images of the artwork, and information about BAG’s
‘Recent Graduate’ program, please visit www.brooklynartistsgym.com

BAG Artist Talk Series Presents: Marisa Olson
Marisa Olson's work combines performance, video, drawing & installation to address the cultural history of technology, the politics of participation in pop culture & the aesthetics of failure, all of which she will be addressing in her lecture.
Her “Time Capsules” series of sculptures, often exhibited in site-specific assemblages resembling landfills or garbage piles, are endangered units of time otherwise destined for burial, but instead rescued, taken out of circulation, and painted gold (Fort Knox-style) in reclamation of their value. The Time Capsules series has led to a broader body of work revolving around the pollution produced in the wake of upgrade culture.
“Assisted Living,” video and performance is a futuristic parody of Martha Stewart's TV show focused on coping with the health & environmental challenges of living a life prolonged and polluted by technology. As hostess, she devised craft projects and recipes for these 150-year-olds, taping the show on-site before a "live studio audience." The show was incubated at Wooloo's New Life Berlin Festival.
Olson’s extensive exhibition list includes the following: the Whitney Museum of American Art, Centre Pompidou-Paris, New Museum of Contemporary Art, 52nd International Biennale di Venezia, National Museum of Contemporary Art (Athens, Greece), Edith Russ-Haus fur Medienkunst, Nederlands Instituut voor Mediakunst/ Montevideo, the British Film Institute, the Berkeley Art Museum/Pacific Film Archive, the Sundance Film Festival, and elsewhere.
