Artists Meeting - Public Exhibition Space @ Conflux Festival NYC
Interventions in Privately Owned Public Space
Downtown Manhattan - District 1
September 11 - 14, 2008

Brought together by chance, circumstance, and a common purpose, Artists Meeting members gather in person and via technology. Free of commercial influence, participants draw on each other’s expertise to refine concepts, further experimentation and engage each other in collaboration. Artists Meeting members participating in Public Exhibiton Space include Leesa & Nicole Abahuni, James Andrews, Daniel Blochwitz, Eliza Fernbach, G.H. Hovagimyan, Thomas Hutchison, Christina McPhee, Mayuko Nakatsuka, Raphaele Shirley, Maria João Salema, Lara Star Martini, Abigail Weg, Lee Wells and Edita Zulic.

Artists Meeting, a light hearted group of artists who have been working together for two and a half years, is presenting a series of performance / interventions in the POPS Plazas of the Financial District in Lower Manhattan. The Artists Meeting Project titled “Public Exhibition Space” is part of a larger Arts Festival called Conflux that is taking place downtown Sept. 11 - 14th. POPS plazas (privately owned public space) are plazas which real estate developers have created over the years to receive special favors from the city such as a tax abatement or the approval to build a much higher building than zoning allows. The POPS spaces have recently come under scrutiny in the press because many of the owners have reneged on their agreements and privatized the spaces making them inaccessible to the public. (see: New York Times, Real Estate Section, BIG DEAL; Home Sweet Home on the Plaza, By JOSH BARBANEL, Published: December 17, 2006) and (New York Times:NEW YORK REGION / THE CITY | May 25, 2008 East Side: A New Study Faults Plazas as Public in Name, Private in Look By GREGORY BEYER)
