Curbs & Stoops and Rhyth­mol­ogy join forces to pro­duce a series of pop-up exhi­bi­tions in West­bury, New York. We see this col­lab­o­ra­tion as an oppor­tu­nity to exper­i­ment at the inter­stice of art and per­for­mance. We hope to cre­ate a venue where engag­ing cul­tural con­ver­sa­tions can hap­pen in a social set­ting. Because we exist out­side of the tra­di­tions of the inner city art scenes, we can sup­port exper­i­men­tal projects by inner city artists. We also see our­selves as a launch­ing plat­form for inter­na­tional ris­ing stars break­ing into the New York art scene. It is in this spirit that we open with “Las Noti­cias,” (The news in Span­ish), a solo exhi­bi­tion by Mexican-American artist, Fran­cisco Moreno. In his paint­ings, murals and instal­la­tions Moreno explores notions of Amer­i­can iden­tity and iconog­ra­phy. He uses a graphic lan­guage of black and white cam­ou­flage as a metaphor
for assim­i­la­tion into for­eign envi­ron­ments and for­eign conditions.
