Locks Gallery artist Jane Irish is included in (B19), a group show at Long Island University's Humanities Gallery.
(B19) is organized by Romanov Grave members Matt Freedman and Laurence Hegarty. The exhibition takes its title from Berggasse 19, the address of Freud’s original Vienna psychoanalytical office.
The curators have invited 19 artists to produce work in response to the artifacts, objects or histories found in Freud’s office and memorably photographed by Edmund Engelman days before Freud fled Nazi occupied Austria. The artists’ responses are based upon their knowledge or experience of the history and practice of psychoanalysis. Using a variety of media artists have riffed upon iconic features ranging from Freud’s couch to the print of Charcot that hung above said couch. Fragments of the architecture, pieces of Freud’s antiquities collection, even the urn in which Freud’s ashes now repose have found their way to Long Island University’s Humanities Gallery. The show opens on Sunday May 6th, Freud’s 156th birthday.
Artists exhibiting include: Joe Amrhein, Matt Blackwell, Francis Cape, Peter Drake, Elana Herzog, David Humphrey, Jane Irish, Peter Kreider, Jonggeon Lee, Kyle LoPinto, Rob de Mar, Bill Morrison, Jennie Nichols, George Prochnik, Jeanne Silverthorne, Natalija Subotincic, Jude Tallichet, Allan Wexler, and Letha Wilson.
