This exhibition begins where Lunch with Olympia (a concurrent exhibition curated by Robert Storr and Carol Armstrong around the history of Manet’s influence on visual arts and culture) leaves off– in the immediate moment.  The shows looks at work by City-Wide Open Studios 2013 artists that responds critically and urgently to issues surrounding gender, sex, race, class, and the precarious relationship between nature and technology.  Rather than assemble the works in a shared exhibition venue,  this project leaves the works in the context of each artists’ studios, so CWOS visitors are encouraged to journey through each space.
