Lindsay Jarvis and Max Werner, a dynamic duo in the contemporary art world, have made a compelling case for collaboration in their recent exhibition "Eruption." This multigenerational show brings together some of the most exciting artists working today with established figures from the 1980s neo-expressionist movement.
The partnership between Jarvis Art and Instituto de Visión is a prime example of this collaborative spirit. The two galleries share resources, costs, and audiences, creating a more vibrant and engaged community around their programs. This approach not only allows for greater visibility but also provides context and depth to the art on display.
Werner, who has organized several exhibitions in the past, sees this model as a return to an earlier era of art dealing, where dealers collaborated with colleagues rather than competing against each other. He believes that this approach is essential for creating a more sustainable and inclusive art market.
The exhibition itself showcases a diverse range of artists, including Georg Baselitz, Ellen Berkenblit, Francesco Clemente, and Sylvia Snowden, among others. The works on display are characterized by their emotional intensity and raw physicality, reflecting the turmoil and social unrest of our times.
Jarvis notes that this show is an attempt to revitalize interest in Expressionism, a movement that has historically been overlooked or misunderstood. By combining generations and showcasing both established and emerging artists, Jarvis aims to create a dialogue between different artistic perspectives and cultural contexts.
The success of "Eruption" lies in its ability to bring together disparate voices and foster a sense of community among art lovers. As Werner points out, sharing everything – costs, risks, and revenues – equally is key to this collaborative approach. By valuing diverse opinions and perspectives, Jarvis Art and Instituto de Visión are creating a new model for art dealing that prioritizes collaboration over competition.
While "Eruption" may be a one-shot exhibition, its impact will be felt for years to come. As Werner notes, the next project is already underway – a solo show of Archie Rand, who also appears in the current exhibition. This partnership is just the beginning, and it will be exciting to see what other collaborations Jarvis Art and Instituto de Visión have in store for us.
