Art in General New Commissions
For their Art in General New Commission, The Still House Group, an emerging artist-run organization based in Brooklyn, presents +1, a new artist run space in the heart of Chinatown. Housed in a storefront space under the Manhattan Bridge, +1 will present a series of exhibitions by The Still House Group’s permanent roster of eight artists: Alex Perweiler, Isaac Brest, Zachary Susskind, Louis Eisner, Jack Greer, Brendan Lynch, Dylan Lynch and Nick Darmstaedter.Each exhibition will be solo presentation with a plus one – the addition of another artwork, object, or artist to the space. Building on Art in General’s own history as an artist run alternative space, +1 is a new platform for The Still House Group to present unconventional work and exchange ideas.The Still House Group supports a unit of young artists, providing them with an environment to conceptualize, produce and exhibit their work. Created out of a desire for a collaboration that encourages members to assist, critique and formally represent one another, The Still House Group is both a set of individuals and its own entity. Founded in 2007 by Isaac Brest and Alex Perweiler as an online viewing platform, The Still House Group has produced numerous exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles and Miami. During 2010, the group conducted an eight-month residency in an abandoned Department of Transportation office in TriBeCa, and has since built a permanent, multi-faceted arts institution currently based in Red Hook, Brooklyn.
