PRESS RELEASE

Anonymous Gallery will feature four temporary, public art exhibitions, lasting four days, beginning October 16, 2008 and ending on October 19, 2008. Four 20ft x 8ft shipping containers will be placed curbside, near two separate major art institutions. Artists Monica Canilao, Maya Hayuk, Greg Lamarche and Anthony Lister will each be given a container to create an installation. The ambitious project intends to create a dialogue between the institutions, the public, and the city itself. It is an exploration into the work of four artists who come from a history in public art / street art and transcend into the field of contemporary art. The Project will also serve as a promotional tool for the artists’ upcoming exhibition at the newly opened Anonymous Gallery. The containers will be placed near two separate art and culture locations in Manhattan. Two containers were placed in Chelsea on 22nd St and 11th Ave. and feature work from Anthony Lister and Greg Lamarche. The two containers in the Lower East Side are on Chrystie St. and Rivington St. and feature work from Maya Hayuk and Monica Canilao.
