The "Artists Choose Artists" biennial is open to artists living on the East End in a zip code that begins with "119". This includes the South Fork, The North Fork, Shelter Island and Riverhead. The exhibition is open to works in all media.
"Artists Choose Artists" highlights artists on the East End and the dynamic relationships uniting the area’s creative community. Seven notable artists of the region jury the exhibition and choose two artists, per juror, whose work will be exhibited alongside his or her own. The exhibition is designed to catalyze creative networks, and encourage mentorship and conversations between artists at varying stages in their careers.
This year's judges are Tina Barney, Lynda Benglis, Donald Lipski, Tony Oursler, Jorge Pardo, Cindy Sherman and Leo Villareal.
"Artists Choose Artists" was held previously in 2013 and 2011. In 2013, the judges were Laurie Anderson, Judith Hudson, Mel Kendrick, David Salle, Ned Smyth, Keith Sonnier and Robert Wilson.
Artists chosen to exhibit were Elizabeth Dow, Mary McCormick, Don Christensen, Christine Sciulli, Elise Ansel, Eva Faye, Carol Hayes, Virva Hinnemo, Koichiro Kunta, Rick Liss, Rossa Cole, Brian Gaman, Tucker Marder and Ezra Thompson.
The exhibition presented art by the artist judge installed alongside the two artists the judge selected. Click here and here to read reviews of the 2013 "Artists Choose Artists" biennial.
