Gavin Brown’s enterprise Restages Jonathan Horowitz’s “Go Vegan!”

NEW YORK, NY.- Gavin Brown’s enterprise (GBE) presents the restaging of Jonathan Horowitz’s widely acclaimed 2002 exhibition “Go Vegan!” Originally presented at Greene Naftali Gallery, this major installation work will be updated by the artist for a new site: the former butchery of storied meat purveyor Pat LaFrieda Meats, which stands adjacent to GBE at 601 Washington Street. Opening May 9th, “Go Vegan!” takes the form of a full-scale, multi-room environment. The work includes a portrait gallery of more than 200 celebrity vegetarians, from philosopher and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson to late comic Andy Kaufman, whose images have been downloaded from the Internet; a gallery of animal portraits; a video installation featuring film of Paul McCartney and his late wife Linda Eastman
