Art Installation: JJ Prof Mary Ting

Professor Ting’s installation, Refuse Redo created with the Lower Eastside Girls Club is on view at:

Lettuce, Artichokes, Red Beets, Mangoes, Broccoli, Honey and Nutmeg: The Essex Street Market as Collaborator

Featuring projects by Laia Solé, Antonia Pérez, Ricardo Miranda Zúñiga,

Mary Ting, Beatrice Glow, and Harley Spiller
Curated by Nicolás Dumit Estévez Raful

Six socially conscious artists are invited to engage vendors, customers and the Market itself in their artistic processes as a means of co-generating experiences centered on the life that unfolds outside Cuchifritos Gallery, the art space of the Artist Alliance Inc. The participating artists and their collaborators bring to the forefront issues relevant to their respective trades and roles, while paying attention to the narratives as well as to the material culture that their presence in the place spawns as a result of their encounters.

Each of the foods listed in the title of this exhibition links an item sold by the merchants with the first letter of the name of the contributing artists and of the curator: Lettuce-Laia, Artichokes-Antonia, Red Beets-Ricardo, Mangoes- Mary, Broccoli-Beatrice, Honey-Harley, and Nutmeg-Nicolás.
