P.A.D. x Parent Company

SiSi Chen, Rachel Hillery, Jacob Jackmauh, Jessi Li, Ryan Oskin, Helen Xinan Ran, Alex Schmidt Parent Company is pleased to present a group exhibition in collaboration with P.A.D. [Project Art Distribution]. The exhibition features work by seven P.A.D. alumni artists. Inspired by P.A.D.’s spirit of reciprocal generosity, this show hopes to replicate the gesture of rolling out the moving blanket and sharing artwork with an evolving audience of peers, friends, and strangers. P.A.D. is a project space that stages single-day pop-up exhibitions on the street in Soho, New York. Under the guise of a street vendor, the endeavor aims to sell and distribute artwork as a way to make contemporary art more accessible. Gallery conventions, such as checklists and press releases, are upheld but the spontaneous, transient nature of the project invites more open, playful collaboration. The time spent on the street with the public creates a sense of community and facilitates a unique dialogue with strangers. Since the project began in 2017, P.A.D. has hosted more than 80 exhibitions. P.A.D.’s creator, Patrick Mohundro, approaches the project with such magnanimous energy that inviting P.A.D. into Parent Company’s basement felt only natural. Making space for each other is fundamental to the artist-run ecosystem and P.A.D. has been incredibly successful in its efforts to carve out space for artists and their work.
