Unlearning

description

Two sided postcard / announcement published in conjunction with show held December 4, 1991 - January, 1992. Curated by Kenny Schachter. “One of his earliest exhibitions, 'Unlearning,' sought precisely to turn the prevailing construct upside down. Invading a former plush Greene Street gallery, Schachter took down the velvet ropes that had kept visitors from the storerooms and offices. Art went everywhere: Rachel Harrison presented a collection of used tampons in the pristine print drawers. Schachter sold sandwiches, had a row of bus seats installed and kept the doors open seven days a week. He also showed his own work, perhaps the supreme faux pas of the gallery world.” — from “The Do-It-Yourself Dealers,” by Ellen Pall in The New York Times , September 1, 1996. Artists included Kenny Schachter, Ricci Albenda, Dan Asher, Jeff Brown, Devon Dikeou, Andy Dunnill, Spencer Finch, Saskia Friedrich, Bob Goldman, Beth Haggart, Rachel Harrison, Jonathan Horowitz, Laurel Katz, Same Kunce, Simon Ungers, Jarg Geismar, David Kelleran, Alix Lambert, John Lekay, Eva Mantell, Sean Mellyn, Lois Nesbitt, Kellie O'Bosky, Steven Pollack, Paul Ramirez, William Saylor, Kerri Scharlin, Frank Schroder, David Shaw, and Maura Sheehan.
