SIX
FEET UNDER: MAKE NICE
July 6, 2004-September 2, 2004
Opening receptions every Wednesday throughout the run of
the exhibition. All projects are only viewable street-side in front of
White Box.
Make
Nice Concept Larry Litt + Juan Puntes
Organized by Raul Zamudio
Make Nice will be the theme of the fifth edition of White Box's annual summer series, Six Feet Under. As in previous years, Make Nice will consist of exhibitions mounted by critics and curators who will take possession of White Box's exhibition space for the duration of one week each. These exhibitions are viewed through the sidewalk-level large window and in (VIDEOBOX), a division of White Box located in another outdoor window. This year the topic specifically addresses the Republican National Convention, to be staged in New York from August 29 through September 2, 2004. The premise is that the curators, and the artists they select, respond to an ad-campaign featuring Ed Koch in which he tells New Yorkers: "The Republicans are Coming, Make Nice.
