Decenter: An Exhibition on the Centenary of the 1913 Armory Show
Curated by Andrianna Campbell and Daniel S. Palmer
Free and open to the public
Henry Street Settlement’s Abrons Arts Center, 466 Grand Street, New York, NY
This event celebrates the 1913 Armory Show, exactly 100 years after its doors opened to the public. What is the legacy of the exhibition, and how has it been understood and misinterpreted? Is there a “new aesthetic” brought about by perceptual shifts in the digital era? How do these changes align with the formal innovations of the historic avant garde? These two discussion panels will address the legacy of the 1913 Armory Show, and the ways that perception and artistic practice have been radically transformed by our digital era. This event has been organized in conjunction with Abrons Art Center’s Decenter: An Exhibition on the Centenary of the 1913 Armory Show, which celebrates the legacy of the Cubist paintings and sculptures in the historic exhibition by featuring a group of 27 emerging and internationally recognized contemporary artists, who explore the changes in perception precipitated by our digital age and who closely parallel the Cubist vernacular of fragmentation, nonlinearity, simultaneity, and decenteredness. The show, on view February 17 – April 7, exhibits a group of artworks in the gallery, and also features digital works displayed at www.decenterarmory.com.
