Re-Union, New York
WhiteBox Portable
Curated by Juan Puntes & Yohanna M. Roa
Re-Union, New York, unfolds at a site of continuous transit: the 42nd Street–8th Avenue subway station, a dense urban node where over 200,000 bodies pass daily. Within this condition, the exhibition operates as an embedded structure, one that is exposed to movement, interruption, reflection, and the temporal instability of the public sphere.
This second iteration of WhiteBox Portable brings together artists who have been part of WhiteBox over the past three decades. Rather than consolidating a unified theme, the exhibition proposes a field of relations, an open constellation of practices that remain aligned through an ethos of experimentation, criticality, and responsiveness to context. The exhibition foregrounds the art-object as a site through which positions emerge, diverge, and coexist.
