Amy Jenkins banned work premieres tonight in Boston
The Audrey Samsara, a video work by Amy Jenkins that was commissioned by the Salvatore Ferragamo company and subsequently deemed too "distasteful" to display in their 5th Avenue store, will finally be publicly shown for the first time tonight, October 21, in Boston. (Background here and here.)For those unable to attend this special one-night screening, the work will also be part of Jenkins's upcoming solo show opening in February at the Kustera/Tilton Gallery in New York City. Tonight's event is from 6:30-8:30pm. Link"Samson Projects, Boston’s newest contemporary art gallery, and Newbury Street’s 9 Months, announce a new arrival: a provocative one-night exhibition and fashion show on Thursday, October 21. A video installation by Brooklyn-based artist, Amy Jenkins, will be shown on a 60 inch plasma screen. The same evening, the latest belly-baring, runway maternity looks will be modeled by local, pregnant celebrities."
