EndGame, the fifth edition of WhiteBox's Quadrennial Presidential Election Exhibition Series, draws inspiration from Samuel Beckett’s unsettling portrayal of cyclic finality. This exhibition reflects on the resonances of history—moments that may not replicate but nonetheless echo with familiar urgencies. Set against the critical decisions defining the Republic's 2024 presidential race, EndGame invites artists to present incisive reflections, engaging in a discourse that crosses borders to address socio-political and humanitarian issues with global reverberations.
The exhibition serves as both a layered composition and a proactive expedition, using artistic forms to challenge threats to the common good. Its range of expressions speaks to pressing issues—from social inequality, the housing crisis, immigration, and institutionalized violence, to racial and gender tensions, nationalism, and environmental degradation. Each curator selects one to three artists to present medium-to-small-scale visual, literary, filmic, or performative works, encouraging an intimate yet wide-ranging engagement with these themes.
EndGame, in collaboration with moreart> showcases its production of Noah Fischer’s News Kiosk journal New York 2044 and zines focused on immigration and New York City’s housing crisis. Partnering with Raul Zamudio’s Jane Street Space, the series presents Hell is Empty and All the Devils Are Here—a dual-exhibition concept with openings on both November 2 at 78 Jane Street, West Village, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM, and on Election Night, November 5, at WhiteBox, 9 Avenue B, from 6:00 PM into the early hours of November 6.
Continuing WhiteBox’s Election Night tradition, starting around 9:00 PM, dual video streams curated by selected artists will run throughout the evening. One screen will feature VJng videos alongside live election updates from FOX News and NEWSMAX, while the other alternates between CNN and MSNBC, providing a balanced media spectrum. This dynamic setup invites artists and guests to engage critically with the unfolding election narrative well into the morning hours.
About: Twenty-four years ago, the idea for WhiteBox as the original alternative art space in Manhattan’s nascent Chelsea neighborhood arose among a tightly knit local group of international emigre artists, architects, and intellectuals armed with a radical and refined pluralistic and aesthetic sensibility based on social justice, egalitarianism, and inclusivity into the social fabric of New York City. It was their response to the New York-centric art scene’s lack of emphasis on social, political, and international art engagement. During its first decade in Chelsea, WBX functioned as an artist-run alternative non-profit art space serving the nascent local art community as a platform for engagement with contemporary artist peers from around the World. As such, it developed a stream of potent site-specific work and survey exhibitions, and became a thriving laboratory for unique commissions, exhibitions, special events, salon series, and arts education programs shared with a large, isolated minority citizenry living in the giant Elliott Public Houses and surrounding West Chelsea working class inlets. Fourteen years ago, having relocated to the then backwater but soon-to-be vibrant arts community on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, WBX continued its pioneering role combining local community initiatives with global engagement, becoming, just as it did in Chelsea, a vibrant and vital locus for cultural engagement. Twenty years later, in its third decade, WhiteBoxHarlem extended WBX cultural services to East Harlem, embracing an underserved, vibrant Latino/Hispanic and Afro-Caribbean alongside a dynamic multifarious immigrant community, offering a panoply of free, diverse, and accessible programs. On its 24th year, WhiteBox relocated to the intriguing, culturally and artistically underserved Alphabet City area of the East Village to continue its trademark mission by adding programs emphasizing youth education in the arts, urban sustainability, and emigrè and ex-pat feminist progressive curatorial programs continuing to embrace and strengthen ties with this highly stimulating local citizenry.

El Papel como lienzo: Explorando expresiones artísticas en un medio atemporal
1 de febrero al 1 de marzo, 2024
Sala de Exposiciones del Plata Salvador Rivera Cardona
Arte Fits Foundation
Puerto Rico
La historia del papel en las artes es rica y variada, y se remonta a siglos atrás ya que los artistas han explorado continuamente su potencial como medio. El papel ha sido un soporte fundamental para dibujos, grabados, acuarelas y fotografías, ofreciendo una diversa gama de texturas, absorbencias y tonos que contribuyen al carácter único de cada pieza.
A lo largo de la historia, el papel se ha utilizado en diversas formas de arte, desde grabados en madera tradicionales japoneses hasta arte contemporáneo en técnicas mixtas. Su accesibilidad y versatilidad lo convierten en uno de los favoritos entre artistas de todos los niveles. En tiempos modernos, los artistas continúan ampliando los límites del papel en el arte, experimentando con diferentes tipos de papel y combinando técnicas tradicionales con nuevas tecnologías.
La importancia del papel en las artes no es sólo histórica, sino que sigue siendo relevante en las prácticas contemporáneas. Su papel en la evolución de las formas de arte y su continuo potencial para la innovación hacen de la historia del papel en las artes un tema fascinante y significativo.
El Papel como lienzo es una exposición que celebra la versatilidad y la perdurable atracción del papel como medio fundamental en las artes. Esta exposición lleva a los visitantes en un viaje a través de diversas disciplinas artísticas, mostrando cómo se ha utilizado el papel para expresar la creatividad en innumerables formas, como serigrafía, grabado, acuarela, fotografía y más.
