Newcomer Richard Taittinger Gallery’s latest show features new work by the Russian artist collective, Recycle Group.
The Recycle Group is Andrey Blokhin and Georgy Kuznetsov. The artists work with repurposed electrical equipment and industrial material to express concern for humanity’s increasing dependence on digital technologies including social media. (Including tools for getting the word out about gallery shows, like this one.) Recycle Group’s work addresses the increasing amount of material waste as a byproduct of widespread consumerism. The exhibition marks The Recycle Group’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.

This show has a unique set-up. The gallery will present the work of 18 artists, exhibited in two-day shifts, two works at a time. The exhibition functions as a record of a visual word-association game, performed internally within the gallery. The show is created with each artwork selected in response to the one chosen immediately before.
Only two artworks will be on view each day, and each artwork will only be on view for two days in a row total. Each evening, the artwork that has already been on view for two days will be removed, making way for the next work, which will create a new pairing with the object that has been there for only one day, and that had been paired with the previous artwork from the day before.
The goal of the show is to stage, each day, a new and jarring juxtaposition of artists and objects, and to produce over the course of a single exhibition 18 different experiences. Teeth Nash Tennessee’s unique premise offers several different shows within a show.
Through April 26, 2015 // Wed.-Sun. 11 am to 6 pm // 89 Eldridge St.
