The Threat of Chance

May 2nd, 2008 by Jerri Chou · No Comments

Ad Hoc Art brings us another thought provoking (and we mean provoking) exhibit, “The Threat of Chance”. Featuring, Josh MacPhee, Billy Mode, Chris Stain, and The Polaroid Kidd, The Threat of Chance “exposition is based on the temptation of possibility. The possibility of change in the face of stagnation, the possibility of hope in desperate times, the possibility of alternative thought and lifestyle in the doldrums of complacency.”

For this installation a railroad shanty town will be recreated to further emphasis the struggle between hope and despair. Amidst a gallery filled of shacks made with found material and walls decorated with freight trains and decaying industry you will find photographs by boxcar culture enthusiast the Polaroid Kidd. Proletarian signs, flags, prints, and banners from author/activist Josh MacPhee. Interactive sculptures, drawings, paintings and stencils, from graffiti artist Billy Mode, and the sociological display of hand cut stencils by Chris Stain. The Threat of Chance art exposition is pure socialist propaganda , (at least that’s how the mainstream will see it) , so stop by opening night and they’ll tear you a new asshole.

If you’re in NYC, stop by Ad Hoc Art tonight between 7pm-10pm for a kick ass opening and afterparty at the Wreck Room Bar. The exhibit will be up through June 1st, 2008.
