Allegation (Third Rail), artist Michael Tharp's 15-projector tour de force, makes its timely and controversial debut in Liminal Reclamations-a group exhibition curated by Amy Kisch of AKArt Advisory and Tracy Causey-Jeffery of Causey Contemporary-at the aptly-themed PublicPrivate SPRING/BREAK Art Show curator-driven art fair. Paired with a child's model train set, the video installation features Woody Allen's 15 Oscar-nominated films running simultaneously (inverted with sound) on the walls of the 3rd-floor coat closet of the schoolhouse known as Old School in SoHo.

Curated for the 3rd annual curator-driven art fair SPRING/BREAK Art Show in the schoolhouse known as Old School on Mott Street in SoHo, Tracy Causey-Jeffery of Causey Contemporaryand Amy Kisch of AKArt Advisory present Liminal Reclamations—focusing on the 21st-century dilemma of the fabrication of human/nature. This year the fair's PublicPrivate theme will explore the “high visibility of the self in the 21st Century every-day” and the balance between privacy and the “digital strip-tease” that average people are compelled to engage in. Some of the artistic practices to be explored include self-portraiture, the evolution of the “photo bomb,” “jealous landscape photography,” and digital spectatorship.

Traverse, a dual exhibition of Melissa Murray and Erica Stoller, will be on view at A.I.R. Gallery February 6 through March 2.
