Claire Fontaine
Please God Make Tomorrow Better, 2008
Neon
INDEPENDENT, a hybrid model and temporary exhibition forum, comes to New York for Art Fair Week and will take place at the former X Initiative and former Dia Center for the Arts at 548 West 22nd Street, March 4 – 7, 2010. Independent will be open to the public free of charge. INDEPENDENT was conceived by Elizabeth Dee, New York gallerist and founder of X Initiative, and gallerist Darren Flook, from Hotel, London. Part consortium, part collective, INDEPENDENT lies somewhere between a collective exhibition and a reexamination of the art fair model, reflecting the changing attitudes and growing challenges for artists, galleries, curators and collectors. INDEPENDENT will present an artist project by Claire Fontaine entitled Please God Make Tomorrow Better, 2008, a neon text work above the façade’s door which will be on view 24 hours a day during the run of the project.
