"Here We Are, Who Cares?"
2011 MFA Thesis Exhibition/Group Show
April 1–30, 2011
NK Gallery
460A Harrison Avenue, Boston, MA 02118

Hours: Wednesday–Saturday 11 am–4 pm, Sunday–Tuesday by appointment
Opening Reception: Friday, April 1, 5–8 pm

"Here We Are, Who Cares?" implies a variety of readings. It is at once breezily flippant and a shrug of indifference at the world's follies and clashes. Subtly sarcastic, this is an ironic announcement of a group of artists whose work ranges from absurd humor to profound pathos. Rooted in accumulated narratives, migratory paths and fragmented evidence alluding to collective memory, "Here We Are Who Cares?" permits viewers to inhabit several little universes, where things belong to no one and, paradoxically, everyone.

"Alix Pearlstein's videos and video installations have always tagged her as a rogue structuralist. She prefers to leaven the mechanics of performance art and the moving image with good-size doses of domestic life, down-to-earth humor and revealing emotion while implicating the viewer in it all through wildly active camera movement." -Roberta Smith, New York Times

"Interestingly, Temporary Services, while they have received a fair amount of attention from mainstream art critical sources in recent years, have remained committed to the initial goals of their group project. These are to provide service to their communities, to free art from the economic and institutional clutches of a larger art world, and to provide their audience (who are also often participant in their projects) with a sense of agency and permission to explore social and public spaces through aesthetic means." -Thom Donovan, Art21 Blog
