Here and Elsewhere features a range of work by 36 artists from throughout the metropolitan area, all of whom have participated in the most recent incarnation of Artist in the Marketplace (AIM) at The Bronx Museum of the Arts, one of the most celebrated and competitive programs for emerging artists in the country.  The title alludes to both the global reach of the program, now in its 27^th year, and to the fluidity of art practices in today’s global life.

A comprehensive catalog will accompany the exhibition, featuring essays by Erin Riley-Lopez, Assistant Curator at the Bronx Museum and the organizer of the exhibition, and João Ribas, a noted writer and curator based in New York.  Ribas will focus on “the centuries-old creative tension between art and commerce, the professionalization of art in today's metastasizing art world, and the economic reality faced by artists longing to survive the inflated market now.”

Here and Elsewhere  is organized by Erin Riley-Lopez, Assistant Curator

In conjunction with Here and Elsewhere, the Bronx Museum will debut ON-SITE, a media-based installation featuring the
36 Artist in the Marketplace participants discussing their work.
