A 51-year-old artist in Germany who worked in Munich’s Pinakothek der Moderne Museum decided to hang his own painting in the permanent collection. He was fired for drilling two holes in the wall. Other museums in Europe reported a few copycats. We get it, though, don’t we?
Artists experiment with new ideas and want people to see what they’re doing. They enter juried exhibitions hoping to be accepted. They participate in portfolio reviews listening for positive remarks while making connections to gallerists and curators.
In the spirit of the museum worker in Germany, Pro Arts members curated and installed their own pieces for this exhibition!
ART150 Gallery is located at 157A First St., 2nd Floor, in Jersey City, New Jersey.
There will be an Opening Reception on Saturday, July 20th, from 3:00pm-7:00pm during the Art Crawl.
