PICK TWO, a new show from the Artspace Flat File 

Gallery 5 at Artspace, Nov. 12 to Jan. 28

Take part in the curatorial process as Timothy Young, Curator of Modern Collections at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale, casts an eye over the Artspace Flat File with a mind to the core function of curating: selecting and bringing together. Works are presented in groups of three with the directive to the viewer to “pick two”—making the final curatorial decision in the mind’s eye.

Artists include: Erin Anfinson, Alexis Brown, Hannah Cole, Claudia Cron, Karen Dow, William Downs, Joan Gardner, Elizabeth Gourlay, Jenny Herrick, Sasha Kopelowitz, E  van Levine, Elizabeth Livingston, Stephen Locke, Marci MacGuffie, Sabrina Marques, Rhea Nowak, Carl Padberg, Amy Pryor, Lucy Sallick, Nomi Silverman, Thomas Stavovy, Rashmi Talpade, Paul Theriault, Rita Valley, Kevin Van Aelst, Mark Williams, and Aicha Woods.
