Original Show
LMAKprojects, New York
Season One. The exhibition is a reunion of sorts, for something that never happened, an opportunity for three artists and a curator to come together and make a show.
Curated by Stephen Hepworth
Once upon a time, there were three (little girls) guys who went to (the police) art college and they (were each assigned very hazardous duties) all moved to New York, (but I took them away from all that) and I moved there too, and now, they (work) are doing a show (for) with me. My name is (Charlie) Stephen.
Matthew Abbott, Carl Fudge, Stephen Hepworth and Joey Kötting while all born in London met at Brighton Polytechnic, in England in the 1980’s studying Fine Art. Abbott, Fudge and Kötting then moved to Philadelphia to do their MFAs at Tyler School of Art, Temple University, while Hepworth went onto London University’s Goldsmiths’ College.
