Please join us at Niagara, 7th and Avenue A in New York City this thursday, Dec. 3rd at 9 p.m. for a special exhibition called '25p'.

‘25p’ uses a concept of film-making (more specifically found-film material and old super8) as a key to understanding art. The underlying concept of the show is based upon establishing a personal connection and dialogue with the visitor, by taking a closer look at the element of narration in art and how it interacts with the narratives of the other pieces to make a bigger story (the exhibition as a whole.)

The show takes 25 positions of drawing, painting and video works, examining the visual (and non-visual) elements making up each piece, in a way that the viewer can consider for themselves what the complete narrative is.

The idea started from a Russian film from the early 90s called ‘2 Sailors’. The filmmakers took found footage of early 20th century Russian culture and life and put the pieces together to build a story (based mainly on a spoken narrative.) But even without the voiced-over narrative, one can understand a communal picture-strip of the life of humanity. Like the film, the show pastes together ‘strips’ of individual perceptions and views of human experience, projecting a communal story of a global humanity.

FEATURED ARTISTS: Paul Rascheja, Valentina Bardazzi, Daniel Kingery, Nicolas Manenti, Carola Göllner Mirco Magnani & Henry Woller + specially invited Artists: Mark Koval, Lolo Rodriguez, Elizabeth White, Mirco Tzotschew, Ute Haarkötter, Reinhold Gottwald, Madeleine Boschan & Stefano Minzi
