Recession Art is expanding this summer to showcase the work of an alumnus artist at our first Summer Solo Show. Alison Wilder will present her installation “Why neutral” on Sunday July 25th from 11am to 7pm in the Invisible Dog Art Center freight elevator shaft. “Why neutral” conflates kitchen implements and celebration signage, while doppelgangers provoke each other in the backyard. The installation includes sculpture by Alison Wilder, and video by Rachel Schragis and Alison Wilder.

Alison Wilder grew up in Vermont and Iowa, and graduated from Bard College last May and then moved to Sunset Park, Brooklyn. She’s been busy conceiving a life rooted in sculpture, textile processes, queer politics, and homesteading activities. She makes large-scale, site-specific, mutating sculptures.

Recession Art is a New York City-based arts organization devoted to emerging artists.
