JENNY MORGAN EXHIBITS HER FIRST VIDEO INSTALLATION THIS WEEKEND AT "ARTS | NOT FAIR" IN BROOKLYN



Plus Gallery sensation Jenny Morgan will exhibit her first Video-installation "Passage" at "Arts Not Fair: A Like the Spice Gallery Art Fair" to coincide with the Armory show and multiple art-fair events happening in NYC.  From the Like The Spice Press Office:


A special project created by Like the Spice will transform Like the Spice Gallery (224 Roebling Street Brooklyn, NY), into a month long "art fair" highlighting special projects by the Like the Spice Gallery artists, including Chino Amobi, Brian LaRossa, Allie Rex, Nicki Stager, Eric LoPresti, Jenny Morgan, Reuben Negron, Hans + Gieves, Matt Stone and more. "Arts Not Fair" will become the most important art event in New York, taking place nowhere near Piers 92 & 94 in Manhattan. Like the Spice is re-establishing itself as the most adventurous and dynamic contemporary art fair in New York City". (Line appropriated from The Armory Show website)"

We applaud and can't help but admire the concept that Jenny's home-base in Brooklyn has created as a poignant commentary on the current art-fair culture, one that seems intent on removing the gallery-going experience that is so relevant to artist careers and provides the greatest merit for them.  Go visit Marisa, Jenny and the gang if you are out that way, it's sure to be one of the best experiences of the illustrious Armory week
