TriBeCa, New York City’s new exhibit, LIFEFORCE invades the city with feminist style art and moscato.

 

Photographers, journalists, hipsters, artists, family and friends from around the city came to see the premier of the new exhibit- LIFEFORCE at the minimalist art gallery, untitled-space NYC.

 

LIFEFORCE was assembled by 24 young female artist and curated by the Bennet sisters, Kelsey and Rèmy.

 

All of the pieces present feature exclusive to the female body like lactating breasts, estrogen and progesterone and perfect imperfections.

 

From the murmurs of the crowd you could hear the divide between hipster chicks and classic art enthusiasts.

 

“This is what we call art now?!” one said.

 

“She basically said ‘free the nipple’ with watercolor, sans the words.” another connected.

 

Some found it hard to believe what classifies as art or were amazed by the simplicity and manipulation of realistic depictions of the body used to rebuke misogynistic ideas embedded into pop culture.

 

Attendees Julia Bowen, 15 and Sharlana Ahmed,16, escaped the densely packed studio, as they realized that they disturbed the art pieces. The chairs and the hand sanitizer were not for use.

 

Deception at its finest.

 

If you did not pay attention to the captions, you too would’ve sat in sweat, tears, urine and synthetic female hormones or missed the connection between hands and sanitation with the UV lit and dead skin infused sanitizer.

 

There were many other intriguing displays, captivating personal struggle with religion, pregnancy, and self acceptance, along with vivid photographs and dioramas.

 

Official statements and descriptions of all of the pieces from the artists are at untitled-space.com.

 

LIFEFORCE is open to the public, free and with art available for purchase, between the dates 7/26- 8/6.
