In Partnership with SHIM Art Network Featuring Four SHIM Exhibition Groups and Over 200 Artists From Around the World

MAMARONECK, NY, USA, August 15, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Jill Krutick Fine Art Gallery is delighted to announce the upcoming opening of a major exhibition, “Exquisite Corpse” on September 10, 2022 in partnership with SHIM Art Network, an artist networking and exhibition company. The gallery will be featuring over 200 artists from around the world who have participated in one of five collaborative exquisite corpse projects. Each construction involves 40 pieces of uniquely-made artwork that visually connect to create a larger body of work. The theme pulls inspiration from how an ecosystem functions: fundamentally individualistic yet synchronous as a whole. The opening reception for the exhibition will be held September 10, 2022 from 4 to 6 P.M. and the show will be on view at Jill Krutick Fine Art Gallery, located at 425 Mount Pleasant Ave. Mamaroneck, NY 10543 for one month. An online exhibition of the work will be available on Artsy.net. The exquisite corpse projects are currently on view in a printed form at Spazio SV (@spazio_sv), a gallery in Venice that showcased the work during the summer 2022 Venice Biennale.

The participating artists are members of SHIM exhibition groups:
· The ArtCard exhibition group, curated by Jill Krutick (@jillkrutickfineartgallery) features artists who create high quality, affordable, small works, easily shipped.
· The Bushwick Community Darkroom (@bushwickdkrm), curated by Lucia Rollow (@lucia.rollow) showcases artists devoted to the craft of producing their own images into fine art prints.
· The SHIM Printmaking - Mezzotint group (@shim_printmaking_mezzotint), curated by Devon Stackonis (@devon.stackonis) and Jayne Reid Jackson (@jrjtinter) is a dedicated collective which seeks to promote the works of international contemporary mezzotint artists.

Co-founder of SHIM Art Network, Peter Hopkins, said “These events highlight the ways @shimartnetwork has created new possibilities for both digital and analog hosting of high-quality art often overlooked by traditional galleries.”

Gallerist and artist Jill Krutick added, “Partnering with such a talented array of curators and artists on collaborative projects sets a high bar in the evolution of my gallery practice. It establishes a working model with substantial benefits to those who participate.”

Devon Stackonis from the Mezzotint group said, “Our collective’s inaugural exhibition of mezzotints is an ambitious one, featuring artists from over fifteen countries. Jayne and I are delighted to see the individual prints from Borderless, our exquisite-corpse on display in Venice, united for the first time at Jill Krutick Fine Art.”

Barry Carlsen of Vox Populi Print Collective added, “My belief is that as individual artists our impact and opportunities grow by acting collectively. Jill Krutick Fine Arts is a fabulous partner in Vox Populi Print Collective's quest to create high-quality print-based exhibitions.”

Lucia Rollow of Bushwick Community Darkroom added, “Providing opportunities for exhibition has been a core element of our model since day 1, and we are thrilled to be expanding offsite exhibitions with Jill Krutick Fine Art Gallery in a collaborative project.”
