Cherry Picking

The Hole is proud to present Cherry Picking, an underground show (literally) by Barry McGee in our Tribeca gallery basement. Comprised of painting, sculpture and collected artworks and errata by friends and strangers (let's call it 'community organizing') the show is short but pungent. Our goal at The Hole is to make art magic happen whenever the opportunity arises. Without fussing too much over traditional timelines and long-lead marketing, we see a hole and we run through it. A good plot, very good friends, can’t lose. I would surmise that the philosophy that runs through McGee’s practice from tagging through to traveling museum retrospectives is a similar opportunism and enthusiasm for unstructured mayhem. Whenever we get lulled to sleep with the conventions of the gallery world and the prosaic expectations of the market we thank people like Barry for kicking over the table and waking us up to why we do this in the first place.
