Jennifer and Kevin McCoy curate "Installation View" at 601Artspace in New York

Sep 22 - Jan 14 2012

601Artspace
New York, NY

Opening Reception: Sep 22 2011

For Installation View, the McCoys bend their artistic practice of revealing how meaning is made to focus on how meaning is displayed. Their curatorial effort here aims to discover the private lives of artworks. As an intervention into 601’s collection, they have created a site-specific exhibition out of non-site-specific art. Whether situated outdoors, in a guesthouse or in an artist’s studio, Installation View shows artworks the way they more frequently exist, instead of in a state of exhibition. Playing off of Louise Lawler’s ongoing practice of capturing art behind the scenes, the McCoys project images from a network of live feed cameras in order to better observe the natural habitats of art.
