RIDER Project 2004, a traveling gallery in the back of a moving truck, presents CELL, an exhibition of 18 emerging NYC artists, opening September 17, 2004. The RIDER Project brings contemporary art to diverse communities throughout New York City. A collaborative experiment created by artists, the RIDER Project is a do-it-yourself alternative to the traditional gallery. The RIDER Project parks on busy city streets, inviting viewers to enter the truck, view contemporary art, and interact with participating artists.CELL is a mobile exhibition exploring the theme of cells and is the RIDER Project's second group show. The RIDER Project's first exhibition in 2003, entitled ch-ch-changes, traveled through Williamsburg, the East Village and Chelsea, and was positively received by hundreds of New Yorkers.
CELL ARTISTS:
Bethany Bristow, Eun Young Choi, Matthew Fletcher, Michele Gambetta, Asya Geisberg, Tracy Gilman, Geujin Han, Eric Jiaju Lee, Aaron Linn, Brian Lund, Laura Parker, Irys Schenker, Sara Ching-Yu Sun, Emily Toxie, and Sarah Trigg.
The RIDER Project was created by Art-Anon, an artist group based in NYC.
