COLLECTIVE SHOW LAUNCHES NEW YORK EXHIBITION

(New York, NY – September 7, 2010) – Collective Show is pleased to present "Collective Show New York 2010," an artist-organized exhibition of contemporary collaborative art groups recently established in
New York. This collaboratively curated "group show of group shows" features DIY artist-run spaces and projects, emerging curatorial initiatives and local independent publications.

Occupying a growing space between established non-profit organizations and commercial galleries, groups in this show are working within fluid definitions – in flexible and adaptive conditions that are fundamental to their working models.

Thirty art groups will exhibit their work during this show at PARTICIPANT INC, a not-for-profit gallery in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Artworks, posters and publications will be on display. Screenings and
performances will also take place during the exhibition.

Participating groups include: 179 canal, 25CPW, Artist Accomplices, AVA, BHQFU, Boffo, Camel Collective, The Chrysler Series, Daily Operation, Eyelevel BQE, FARIMANI, Forever & Today Inc, Forte, HKJB, The Holster, the jogging, Kunstverein NY, The Metric System, Parlour, Primetime, The Public School, Silvershed, Submerged Art, Vector Productions, Why and Wherefore, YES, and Collective Show 2011 hosts: ACP (Los Angeles), Human Resources (Los Angeles), Night Gallery (Los Angeles) and Temporary Contemporary (London).

A catalogue will accompany the exhibition and a PDF will be available at www.collectiveshow.org
