New Exhibition by Pat Perry Opens in New York City
Detroit-based artist Pat Perry is set to unveil a captivating solo exhibition titled “Whilst.” The show features a diverse array of works that explore the passage of time and the unfolding of history amidst the backdrop of everyday life. Running from November 14 to December 5, the exhibition will be hosted at Hashimoto Contemporary in New York City.
Art Inspired by Literature
In creating this thought-provoking series, Perry drew inspiration from the writings of notable authors such as William H. Glass, Susan Sontag, and Anne Carson. His work reflects an existential struggle: the challenge of recognizing global turmoil while navigating the small, yet profound moments of daily existence.
Liminal Bingo Group Photo Project
Alongside “Whilst,” Perry’s Liminal Bingo Group Photo Project will also be showcased. This project, initially introduced in May, is a 25-square photo hunt featuring contributions from over 60 photographers. Participants were encouraged to engage in a playful exploration of their surroundings.
A Unique Experience
Perry articulated his vision for Liminal Bingo, stating, “My hope for Liminal Bingo was that playfulness and seriousness could coexist. I was not trying to teach anyone anything. The poster says it works best when done with others, and participants took that seriously. They went out with friends, met strangers, and wandered places they had no reason to be. The project seemed to attract openhearted people. I think most of them will remember the summer they played Liminal Bingo longer than any painting of mine they’ve strolled or scrolled past.”
