The Abrons Arts Center is proud to present me, we, a multi-platform collaboration partnering with the Dia Art Foundation’s education program, Abrons Arts Center StudioLab program, and 11th-grade Studio Art majors at Lower Manhattan Arts Academy (LoMA). Grounded by a continuously evolving installation on view at the Abrons Arts Center from February 17-March 17, 2012, me, we is an exploration and articulation of collective authorship that blurs the lines between studio space, exhibition, and public forum.

The gallery will act as a response laboratory between Dia Art Foundation’s Education Associate and poet Christine Hou, Dia Teaching Artist Lisa Iglesias, and the LoMA students. Audience members will witness a visual- and text-based exchange that will include large format graphite drawings, text as image, signage, and miniature casted monuments. Supporting programming will include two public events in the exhibition space and 16 workshop sessions for LoMA students in the Abrons Arts Center StudioLab classroom.
