art we love :: general particular collective art exhibit
Asen James and Rich Williams, who make up the collective General Particular, have organized the second in a series of art shows in Dumbo. The Collective Art exhibit is a “non-curated show by design,” says Asen. ” A friend of mine once said to me ‘going to art school made me an art snob.’ So anyone with the passion to produce a body of work was allowed entry into the show on a first come first serve basis. I think passion and dedication are two of the defining characteristics of an artist. We have some artists who have begun to develop names for themselves, some artists are just displaying, others are selling their work and get 100% of the proceeds. The main motivation for this and future events by General Particular is to bring people together from all different walks of life in a fun way.” We couldn’t agree more!
