Join us for the opening of 2020 ICP-Bard MFA candidate Alex Remnick’s solo exhibition, Coming Out Party, at the ICP-Bard MFA Studios in Long Island City. This exhibition features a selection of interdisciplinary work created during his two years in the program.
In Coming Out Party, Remnick uses a variety of media to explore issues of identity, body, and emergence. Just months ago, the artist came out publicly as a queer man; his recent work explores and abstracts the emotional process of questioning the way we define ourselves. These revelations also offer new context to earlier work on display, as the artist emerges from a series of hiding places and obfuscations.
