Yellow Peril Gallery is pleased to present "Work Harder", a group exhibition curated by Robert P. Stack, featuring cutting edge contemporary artists with installations that will temporarily occupy LightSpace Studio’s massive 5,100 square foot cyclorama stages and 28 foot ceiling clearances in Brooklyn, New York, during the run of Frieze New York 2013 from May 11 – 13, 2013. Peter Davis, Editor in Chief, SCENE (sceneinny.com), is the Host for the opening reception produced by So Chic RSVP on Saturday, May 11, from 7PM – 11PM. A portion of all sales (10%) will benefit charity:water.
For some artists, the words "Work Harder" are a mantra of encouragement, pushing them to achieve their creative potential – 110% above and beyond what is expected. For others, "Work Harder" is nothing more than an admonishment from critics, peers or their inner demons for missing the mark completely. In short, discouraging words with the power to kill, crush or even destroy an already fragile ego.
“'Work Harder' is not about cynicism or questioning the work ethic of artists,” notes Yellow Peril Curator Robert P. Stack. “Each installation that will inhabit the same space is from artists whose body of work exemplifies strength, power and independence. It is this inherent inner-dialogue of pep talk versus admonishment that informs the core of the work exhibited,” he clarifies. "All of us are spurred on by the little men on each shoulder."
