“Lust…” is a new exhibit that will span multiple galleries and showcase works that depict many interpretations of love and lust. The opening reception is Sunday, February 14th, 2010 from 1pm-5pm. This will be an INCREDIBLE VALENTINE’S DAY EVENT for couples, friends, and patrons!

In collaboration with multiple Arts District galleries, we will work to create a movement in celebration of that wonderful time full of love. You know the day--February 14th! V-day. We will be developing a semi-all inclusive show that will be curated in one space, and then split between galleries. This movement goes beyond space limitations and activates the neighborhood through multiple gallery collaborations.
Saint Valentine's Day is a holiday celebrated on February 14. There's an energy which drives us to fall in love. Philosophers, scientists, and artists study it. Lust is an intense craving for one’s lover and has been a tremendous force in the creation of art and spirit. Lust is joyful and painful at the same time. Dante
compared it to the sweeping force of a whirlwind with no hope of escape to cleanse your soul and purge your minds from desire. Lust controls many of us with muscle truck unstoppable force! We are exploring lustful creativity with a tremendous, ground-breaking show which crosses individual gallery barriers. As a group, each gallery director will assist in curating the show. We will then divide the work between our spaces. Lust will create a movement for the month of February!
The art will range from publicly accessible art PG-13 to much spicier concepts! This is not an erotic art show. We need to explore this unstoppable whirlwind of fear, need, anxiety, love, and desire. Lust and love move deeper than sex, it's power.
(Our new neighbors will be hosting events on the same day to boost energy and contribute to the overall excitement and spirit of creativity centered around LUST…)

This exhibit was conceived because of the need to communicate about immigration in a different way. Art has transformative and healing powers which are truly needed at this time. Art can transcend barriers, borders and differences. The Immigrants Art Exhibit provides an opportunity for immigrant artists to respond artistically to this time in history in which immigrants are being globally and locally persecuted and deprived of their rights.
The exhibit has been shown at the Rios II Gallery and LeRoy Neiman Art Center in Manhattan, the Suffolk County Community College, Selden, Long Island, the American Friends Service Committee in Newark, NJ and the South Ocean Art Gallery in Freeport, Long Island. The artists come from a variety of continents and countries including Ivory Coast, Taiwan to Guatemala and Chile. Since the first opening on July 10, 2009 requests to exhibit have been received from 3 additional galleries.
The Future Generation Art Prize established by the Victor Pinchuk Foundation is a worldwide contemporary art prize to discover, recognize and provide long-term support to a future generation of artists.

20 shortlisted artists will be selected to show their work in an exhibition at the PinchukArtCentre (Kiev). These artists will be judged by an international Jury who will award one main prize and up to five special prizes.
The first prize will receive $100,000.
