Open Studio Weekend

Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, New York

15 Artists Debut New Work

Eight years after its conception in the World Trade Center, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s (LMCC) studios continue to unveil New York’s latest and notable emerging artists every six months.

This session includes; Scott Hug, founder of K48 Magazine, creator of collages and installations that investigates pop culture and media obsession; Carter, whose layered Polaroid photography and ink drawings form mask-like portrait busts; and Monika Goetz, whose cool, clean work repurposes space with glass, mirrors, and light challenging a viewer’s visual perception.

Resident Artists June–October 2005
Chris Caccamise, Luis Cantillo, Carter, Martha Colburn, Monika Goetz, Scott Hug, Joyce Kim, Graham Parker, Kanishka Raja, Greg Smith, Austin Thomas, Jessica Watson, and writer-in-residence Alan Gilbert.
