SCHOOL NITE

Under the exhibition theme Wish Meme, The They Co. will coordinate curatorial exhibitions for SCHOOL NITE exploring ideas of wish fulfillment, fiscal dependency, self-entitlement, and the agents working against these phenomena, which accounts for the push-and-pull within a generation raised in an economic bubble, and growing up or old through its sizable burst. Within Wish Meme, works which consider post excesses and current deficiencies will be explored alongside those of utopian whimsy, TV dreaming, video-game escapism, prayer how-tos, old mythologies reprised, internet trending, and real-life hopes for life improvement. Here, the souls of the activist email blast, the home shopping network, People magazine Do’s & Don’ts, and better living through chemistry, consumerism, or creativity distill from the cumulative wishing well of the times.
