So Hot Right Now
SVA Chelsea GalleryEli Barak, Sean Donovan, Delano Dunn, Ron Erlih, HHU, Scarlett Lingwood, Susan Luss, Amalia Mourad, Jonathan Schouela, Ali Shrago-Spechler So Hot Right Now is a summer survey show of ten artists from School of Visual Art’s MFA Fine Arts program responding to historian Eric Hobsbawm’s concept of invented tradition. How far may new traditions be forced to invent new languages or devices, or extend the old symbolic vocabulary beyond its established limits? Work crosses mediums to explore how rituals, from the banal to the sacred, can form our identities through repetition and reverie.
