PRIVATE EVENT: TABLEAU COMMUNITY ONLY

Join us in the Lower East Side for our monthly NYC meet up! We will be hosted by Harsh Collective this month. Drinks & small apps will be served :)

Their current exhibition we will be visiting: Brave New World, a duo exhibition featuring Alexandra Houx Grounds and Tara Lewis, curated by Juliette Eberle. The exhibition will take place from March 15–April 10, with an opening reception on March 15th, from 7-9 p.m., at 133 Eldridge St, New York, NY 10002. The exhibition will feature several new paintings from each artist. As part of Grounds’ presentation, the opening reception will feature an immersive AI print station presented by EverArt. The platform will allow a limited number of visitors to become part of the creation process as they directly prompt and interact with an AI model trained on Grounds’ distinctive painting style. This allows visitors to create their own art print of anything they can imagine, and with the help of AI, the creation will be made exclusively with Grounds’ painting strokes and color hues. The exhibition will explore the relationship between Lewis and Grounds as mentor and mentee, and the effect each artist had on their respective practices. Their relationship began nearly a decade ago when Lewis was Grounds’ art professor and mentor at Phillips Exeter. Both Lewis and Grounds utilize portraiture to explore the dichotomy of the contemporary moment: the yearning to embrace the nostalgic past whilst adapting to the futuristic present. The duo challenges preconceived notions of authenticity, personhood, agency, and the female experience through their reciprocal artistic languages of iconography and technology, respectively.
