9/8/2009: Rare is rellocating to a new space.
RARE, founded in 1998 in New York City's meatpacking district, is dedicated to exhibiting emerging artists and to helping those artists build their careers so that they move from the emerging into the established category. While our commitment to our artists is long-term, our scheduling allows us to introduce new artists each year. With RARE's relocation in 2003 to a larger space in Chelsea, we also are able to provide opportunities in our project room, RARE PLUS, to up & coming curators and artists new to the marketplace.
We work with artists who emphasize process and technique, not as an end in itself, but as a way of drawing out and amplifying the content of their work. The content itself focuses on highly specific and personal issues that tie into "the big issues" in the world at large, and yet are leavened with a dose of humor.
Artists at RareDonovan Barrow, Jason Brown, James Davis, Kirsten Deirup, Adrian Ellis, Johnston Foster, Dylan Graham, Ian Hartshorne, Aaron Holtz, Melissa Martin, Fernando Mastrangelo, Christopher Mir, Slava Mogutin, Nathan Ritterpusch, Jimmy Joe Roche, Bryan Savitz, Sean Ward, Jim Wright
