NEW YORK, N.Y.- The FLAG Art Foundation is presenting two exhibitions: Art², a group exhibition on the 9th floor, and Jane Hammond: Fallen, a monumental ongoing installation consisting of over 4,000 unique handmade leaves each inscribed with the name of a American soldier killed in the war in Iraq, on the 10th floor. The two exhibitions will be on view through December 17, 2011. The title of the exhibition Art² refers to the use of a specific and existing artwork in the visual language of an original contemporary artwork. The featured artists reimagine, or incorporate, these past works by artists from their own generation as well as from decades, or even centuries, before. Whether a literal transcription or a point of departure, these works explore the constant flux of art and ultimately demonstrate ways in which our visual history informs our present.
