Keil Borrman: Airing the Facilitation Banner Paintings
opening reception and performance MONDAY, JULY 22, 2013 - 6 - 9 PM
on view through September 10, 2013
As part of a program called “Beer on Sundays,” inspired by anarchist saloonkeeper Justus Schwab’s effort in the late 19th century to operate his drinking establishment on that day, which was once housed at OSMOS’s address, Keil Borrman will stage a performance, curated by Jovana Stokic, which involves the audience taking banners with political messages from the gallery, recently founded by curator Cay Sophie Rabinowitz, to the nearby First Street Green, at 33 East 1st Street. A group called Table on Ten has also crafted a “communal alphabet soup.” Beer will be served. —Andrew Russeth
