Featured in kurimanzutto’s ‘TITAN’ Wants You to Look at Art in Plain Sight
Exhibited in defunct phone booths along 6th Avenue, artists including Renée Green, Glenn Ligon, Patti Smith, and Rirkrit Tiravanija ask us to engage with the world around
With its political turmoil and pandemic lockdowns, 2020 has been a banner year for text-based works and street art, to which a partially depopulated and boarded-up Manhattan has provided a stark backdrop. Organized by Damián Ortega and Bree Zucker, kurimanzutto’s ‘TITAN’ – an outdoor exhibition staged in phone booths on Sixth Avenue that are due to be replaced by wi-fi kiosks next year – is well suited to a moment when guards seem to outnumber visitors at the Museum of Modern Art half a block away.
