ATHICA Emerges III introduces new work by three young local artists, and one artist team. The curators selected these artists from over two-dozen entries. Excitingly, this year’s exhibit veers away from the painting and sculptural works of the first two years of ATHICA’s annual local emerging artists showcase, with new media, photo-based works and conceptual practices predominating. The four projects include two that explore personal journeys, both virtual and actual, and two that use inventive ways of recording and representing personal experiences.

New this year is a satellite space in the Bottleworks complex at 337 Prince Avenue, where Robert August Peterson’s American Male, Age 32 (2009)--a multimedia installation using 5 video projector and four speakers--can be experienced.

Thank You Tim Wright!
