Chemistry Creative’s 3500 sq. ft. black box space – replete with adjustable walls, lighting and copious video and audio equipment – is the perfect environment to create a thrilling exhibition of the Cathouse’s past program of artists, along with a few new upstarts.
Represented in this venture will be artists Michael Ashkin, Brad Benischek, Leslie Brack, Andy Cross, Anne Deleporte, David Dixon, Nicola Ginzel, Shadi Harouni, Pete Moran, Gregor Neuerer, Farideh Sakhaeifar, Evan Daniel Smith, Evan Shinners, Timothy Simonds, Daniel Swanigan Snow, Nathan Townes-Anderson and Jeannie Weissglass.
