SOUTH SPECIFIC

Curated by New York-based Y&S, South Specific brings together the work of eight emerging artists. Hailing from the American North, West and South, each of the artists’ explorations of material and process ultimately results in works that supersede their own components to speak in the conceptual language driving contemporary art practice today.
Featuring the work of some of the most of-the-moment (read: collectible) artists in the US, this show is a don’t miss as it brings artists never before shown in Montgomery .Featured artists include: Dean Levin (b. 1988, South Africa/Los Angeles), New Orleans-based Julian Wellisz, Evn Robarts’ (b. Miami, FL), Henry Levy, a Los Angeles based artist, and three of the eight artists on the Still House Group’s permanent roster - Isaac Brest, Jack Greer and Dylan Lynch who work in the group’s shared Red Hook, Brooklyn studio.
Y&S is a New York City based non-profit dedicated to the support of emerging and unrepresented artists. Founded and driven by a group of art enthusiasts, Y&S strives to give young artists a platform on which an ever-broadening audience celebrates the works of their own generation. Y&S creates a bridge between young artists and a young audience, through group shows, lectures, studio visits and publications.
