The Spring break art show features projects of over 20 curators. The show this year is going to do a fresh take on the art model of showcasing art works and showcase a range of New York City’s curatorial voices, all surrounding a solo exhibition theme – New Mysticism. Last year was themed as well with an Apocalypse theme and a lot of the pieces were done beautifully.
Making use of over 20 classrooms, hallways, and unique areas one of the cities oldest schoolhouses new art works will be on display, arranged by curators representing the more recent creative contributions of the Lower East Side, Bushwick, and Gowanus. The fair’s 2013 curatorial theme as described by the co-founders of The They Co. and SPRING/BREAK Art Show, Gori and Ambre Kelly, is called New Mysticism is supposed to dig deeper with 21st century technological advancements such as the internet, digital stimulations and other technologies intertwined with 20th century art. Given how technological this show will be it will dig deeper and more personal than you would imagine.
The show is really good about getting viewers to interact with performance shows and exhibitions. I even got to ride a moped last year around New York as a performance piece. It’s a much more fun experience for the viewer and it’s obvious the artists and curators had fun with this exhibition as a whole.
The show begins March 5th – March 11th, 2013.
Here are some photos from 2012.
