Bornagain Again
An exhibition of political commentaries
Curator: Eddy Steinhauer
For this election year exhibition artist and curator Eddy Steinhauer has chosen 22 artists whose work engages with political issues. Not surprisingly the exhibitions points out that the issues in 2008 are still the same ones the country has grappled with since its founding in 1776, namely race, gender and equality.
The exhibition provides an outlet for these 22 artists to address their personal political leanings or frustrations and is diverse in opinions and medium. The exhibition’s title, Bornagain Again, plays on the political cycle in general and in particular on the still unresolved separation of church and state.
Eddy Steinhauer was born in Port au Prince, Haitii and received an MFA from the Yale School of Art and Architecture in 1996. He has curated exhibitions at the Clocktower Art Space in Brooklyn, the Curators Showcase at NURTUREart in New York and the “Congressional Art Competition” in Montclair, NJ. His work has been shown in exhibitions at Exit Art, Rush Arts, Skoto Gallery, FiveMyles, New Museum and other venues in New York.
The exhibition is in part supported by the Andy Warhol and Greenwall Foundations.
