Harris Lieberman is pleased to present November, Again, a restaging of an exhibition curated by Jeffrey Uslip at the gallery in 2006. Revisiting the exhibition demonstrates a commitment to a group of artists, most of whom are not represented by the gallery, in an effort to afford viewers consistency in their examination of these artists’ development over the course of two years. November brought together artists whose work examines issues of the body in flux and responds to the immediacy and urgency of the (then) current socio-political climate. November, Again seeks to highlight its aftermath. Now, the body is presented as a cyborg gesture, the focus on the individual is substituted for global and environmental concerns. Building on themes presented in the first exhibition, November, Again narrows the original group of fourteen artists to eight, focusing specifically on those artists whose work shares this common ground.
