ART LOT, 206 Columbia Street, Brooklyn, NY
Participating artists: Sari Carel, Noa Charuvi, Tamara Gayer and Sofia Quirno
Curated by Aimée Burg
MAKESHIFT is part of a three-part exhibition series called GIFT HORSE organized by Art Lot in collaboration with Collective View.
The works in MAKESHIFT address issues that have become prevalent during the pandemic; the increasing disparities of the housing crisis, the greedy elite and the debris and waste that adds to global climate catastrophes. The word ‘makeshift’ comes from the attitude that Collective_View took from figuring out how to continue in the wake of a global pandemic and is especially fitting since on a global level we try to make and shift towards all other challenges the world will face.
Work by Quirno: OWN IT/ROCK BOTTOM, 2021. Reused rent sign, wood, zip ties. Dimension variable.
The work references the feelings of hope and frustrations faced by many immigrants in the US. Also plays with the psychological and psychoanalysis to release emotions and humor to overcome.
