JENNY MORGAN TO BE FEATURED IN HER FIRST INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION!

92YTribeca partners with Like the Spice Gallery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and Artist-Led Initiatives Support Network, London (ALISN) to present Off the Clock. This special group exhibition co-curated by Like the Spice and ALISN is made up entirely of artist's assistants.

As far back as the Middle Ages, artists have rarely worked alone. The arrival of Minimalism's large-scale sculpture and the explosion of Andy Warhol (not to mention the unprecedented spike in art prices) have encouraged artists to consider using an extra set of hands (or many, in some cases). The benefits are mutual: up-and-coming artists learn important secrets of the trade, while their seasoned employers reap the many rewards of artistic assistance. The glory, however, often still goes to the artist whose name is on the work. Discussing the assistant opens up essential questions about the role of labor in art production and the importance of an artist's name and mystique.

Each of the artists featured have learned through doing, lending their talents to works that can be seen in major galleries, important private collections and public spaces throughout the world. This exhibition features works by Rachel Beach (Roxy Paine), Matt Blackler (Gordon Cheung), Jason Bryant (Kehinde Wiley), Ben Deakin (Keith Tyson), Allison Edge (Mcdermott and Mcgough), Rob van Erve (Judy Pfaff), Alison Gill (Gavin Turk), Charlie Ledbetter (Jeff Koons), Jenny Morgan (Marilyn Minter), Reuben Negron (Papo Colo), Lauren Page Russell (Spencer Tunick), and Lucas Blalock (Vik Muniz).
