BIPOLART IS AN INDEPENDENT “CURATORIAL OUTPOST” – LAUNCHED IN 2007 – BY ERIC LAINE – WITH THE GOAL OF “EXHIBITING DIVERSE WORK SIDE BY SIDE” – SO THAT THE RESULTANT “DIALECTICAL TENSION FROM SUCH A CURATORIAL PROCESS” leads to a ‘Bipol.art’ DISCOURSE. (!)
here’s a good example: the plant world visions of MODERN LIFE OF THE SOUL – which appears to be KINGA KIELCZYNSKA & MELANIE BONAJO vs. the hard edged urbanism of MATTHEW STEINBERG.
