White Box's 26th Street Chelsea

I know this is not a Memphis area opening! But it is our beloved Virginia so I thought I would post it in case anyone was in the vacinity Aug 21.

Six Feet Under Program:
WEEK 7 (the last one)
Virginia Overton
Curated by Dana Orland
Opening reception:
August 21, 6-8pm
WHITE BOX is pleased to announce the final chapter of Six Feet Under: Elections / Final Charade, a theme-driven annual Summer Series traditionally featuring six proposals by six curators over six years. With this unaccounted for, seventh year, we break all the rules- a bit biblically- extending Six Feet Under into its seventh and final installment, with seven curators over seven weeks, culminating in the last exhibition ever in White Box's 26th Street Chelsea location before we move to our new Bowery location.
The purpose of the series is to offer each curator/artist team a week-long opportunity to tackle this year's theme using White Box's unique architecture and its six feet below ground exhibition space. Acting as a prop, the gallery space is impenetrable, the summer viewer kept at bay and exhibitions are viewed only through White Box's sidewalk-level large window, lobby, and (VideoBox)- an outdoor window.
