Press Release (Cycle I)

September 9th, 2022 - February 1st, 2023

Storage
52 Walker Street
4th Floor
Tribeca, New York 10013

Press Release, the inaugural exhibition at our new 52 Walker Street location explores how feelings of pressure and tension –be they physical, social, or emotional– have become unsustainable and what new dimensions of release –in protest, in violence, in loving acts, and mutual care– have been created in response to the relationship between the power of pressure and the pressure of media and art production at large.

Historically, we traced the term “press” as a metonym for the media following the invention of the printing press, recalling its modern power with two of its actions and their implicit authority: Press as the embedded physicality in the act of pressing, and Release as containing an implicated response of resistance to applied pressure.

Storage will have an "Open Studio" model for group exhibitions, allowing shows to evolve and exhibit works by incoming artists on a rotating basis during the duration of each presentation. Press Release opens with works by Nate Lewis, Elizabeth Flood, Morgan Canavan, Sula Bermúdez-Silverman, Carlos Martiel, Lyndon Barrois Jr. Followed by cycled-in works by Paul Thek, Edwin Klein, Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, Elizabeth Catlett, Howardena Pindell, Kenny Rivero, Al Loving, Olivia Erlanger, William Pope L, Eli Ping, Fin Simonetti, Lyle Ashton Harris, Kim Hoeckele, and more.
