FALCON Art Collective, a group of New York-based artists and curators dedicated to reactivating urban spaces through independent cultural initiatives, is pleased to present their inaugural exhibition, R U STILL PAINTING???, an arbitrary, non-national, non-rational, unofficial, and incomplete painting survey.
The show will transform 40,000 square feet of corporate, under-construction space in Midtown into a sprawling exhibition. The curators’ choice of a gutted, raw space expresses the will of an artist community to reclaim agency in a landscape where independent creative space is vanishing at speed.
With R U STILL PAINTING???, FALCON carries onward the spirit and playfulness of New York’s early 2000’s art scene.
R U STILL PAINTING??? is not a question posed to the artists, but a provocation drawn from online culture both a meme and an ironic response to a digital visual world where the human hand is allegedly no longer required to generate multiple imaginaries.
This survey celebrates the imperfect nature of the physical — painting that bleeds and groans, stumbles and laughs as it fractures imagery into unexpected forms. These canvases reclaim inconsistency as a virtue, discovering meaning through the push and pull of physical gesture.
Far from being a relic of history, painting reemerges here with evolving urgency: in a disembodied age, paint becomes a declaration of the artist’s embodied presence.
