AIM 25
June 30 - October 2, 2005

For twenty-five years, the groundbreaking Artist in the Marketplace (AIM) program has been providing professional development for emerging artists in the New York area. This year's program culminates with the exhibition AIM 25.

AIM 25 artists expand time, technology, and perception; explore human movement through synesthesia; update drawing with a sense of action or adventure; craft paintings and sculptures with multi-layered irony; use portraiture to address complex social issues; bring out the politics and poetics intrinsic to peculiar mediums; and strongly misread conceptualism.

Artists: Mai Braun, Brian Caverly, Ofri Cnaani, Ben Colebrook, Ernest Concepcion, Priyanka Dasgupta, Tom Downs, Elaine Gan, J.J. Garfinkel, Beth Gilfilen, David Hardy, Leslie Hewitt, Vlatka Horvat, Olen Hsu, Wade Kavanaugh, Fawad Khan, Shinichiro Kitaura, Tom Kotik, Beth Krebs, Steven Lam, Rena Leinberger, Thessia Machado, Esperanza Mayobre, Yucef Merhi, Ivan Monforte, Stephen Nguyen, Ian Pedigo, Kurt Perschke, Meridith Pingree, Wanda Raimundi-Ortiz, Jaye Rhee, Rachel Schuder, Jennifer Schwarting, Kwabena Slaughter, and Heeseop Yoon

Organized by Senior Curator Lydia Yee and Assistant Curator Amy Rosenblum Martín, AIM 25 is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue.

AIM 25 is generously supported by grants from the Jacques and Natasha Gelman Trust and Helena Rubinstein Foundation.
