THE WRONG AGAIN GALLERY TO OPEN ON APRIL FOOL’S DAY
Inspired by The Wrong Gallery, a project by Maurizio Catalan, Massimiliano Gioni and Ali Subotnick, which existed from 2002 to 2005 in the Chelsea Arts District in New York, The Wrong Again Gallery is the space in a closed doorway located in the studio of Greely Myatt. Despite the shallow 2 inches of floor space, the gallery will attempt a larger presence by using the internet to connect the Memphis community to various other locations around the world – wherever the exhibiting artists live and work. While the work will be physically in the space the artists will not, however through skype, we will connect with the artists in their studios or at other gallery and museum openings. Beyond these bi-city opening receptions, the space will be open by appointment or accident. (I have been known to go to Home Depot forgetting to shut my garage door.)
Each season, which will run from April Fool’s Day to Halloween, will showcase the work of four artist, or artists teams. The 2011 line up is: The Art Guys, Houston, Texas; Aaron Suggs and Virginia Overton, Brooklyn, New York; Maaike Gouwenberg and Joris Lindhout, Amsterdam, The Netherlands; and Julie Wright, Memphis, Tennessee. Each project will be installed for six weeks. Opening receptions will bring the artists from around the world to The Wrong Again Gallery to celebrate their work, none however will be physically present. What a relief for the artists, an opening you don’t have to attend!
The inaugural show by The Art Guys is “The Meronomic Antinomy of the Trans-Finite Realm (She’s a Brick House)” and will open on Friday, April 1st, 7-9 PM. The gallery address is 648 (W) Marshall Avenue, Memphis, Tennessee 38103. The reception is free and open to the public.
