La MaMa Galleria
JANUARY 4-30, 2021
DOWNTOWN 2021 takes its name from the film Downtown 81, which portrayed a day in the New York City of 1981 in all its glory. Forty years later, the exhibition acts as a sequel to the film, taking inspiration from downtown as an idea, a state of mind, and a generative space-rather than just a geographic location-and extending its scope beyond Manhattan to galleries in Brooklyn and Queens. The exhibition is composed of works by artists who have been included in current or previous exhibitions from a selection of over 25 galleries. An essay in two parts will accompany the exhibition; one on the artists and spaces in the exhibition, and the other on spaces from the recent past that have closed or are on hiatus, for a total of 50 spaces. Taken together, the spaces reveal the currents of new visual culture and the idea of a new downtown, taking shape through painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, video, installation, and touching on themes of collaboration, liberation, dance, and bartending.
Co-presented by Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI), and online video component is also available at downtown2021.eai.org.
Admission to exhibition is free. La MaMa Galleria is located at 47 Great Jones St and is open Fridays and Saturdays from 12pm-6pm and by appointment. For more information, please visit lamama.org/downtown-2021.
