Chapter 3: First Bird (A Few Butterflies)

INVISIBLE-EXPORTS is pleased to be part of LUSH LIFE, an exhibition in nine chapters curated by Franklin Evans and Omar Lopez-Chahoud.

LUSH LIFE adopts Richard Price’s 2008 novel to title and organize the exhibition. The novel is set in the contemporary LES and through a murder investigation exposes the dynamically changing community of the neighborhood, which despite its evolution retains a ghostly and vital link to its layered past. The deep and varied history of the LES now includes the LES galleries as new community members, and Price’s novel provides a potent vehicle for the consideration of community as voices compete for, ignore and occasionally share the same physical and conceptual space.
