25 May – 1 June 2002
In May 2002 White Box offers itself to the dogs.
The gallery becomes an indoor dog run, a playground
of art. Dogs, trainers, canine historians, psycho-veterinarians,
& dog/art enthusiasts will listen to wolves howl, be lectured
on separation anxiety, parade around the arts district of Chelsea
and reflect upon the ideal urban canine abode.
Exhibition includes by: Manolo, Dieter Roth &
Richard Hamilton, Dennis Oppenheim, Roger Welch, Jeff Koons, William
T. Meyer, Johnnie Walker & Sir Elton and Tillamook Cheddar with
Bowman Hastie III.
