Drawing from a wide range of materials and techniques, the artists featured in Don’t Worry, Everything’s Cool create paintings, sculptures, and videos, which explore their own connections to the constant state of reinvention that epitomizes the NYC experience.
The regression and progression of NYC throughout history has given way for some incredibly creative moments collectively; like what came from the gritty, punk and grunge subcultures of the city - a time that has continued to provide pointed inspiration to each of these artists. As Brunetti once said to Copeland: punk was “the doorway to everything cool, everything other.” As such, in Don’t Worry, Everything’s Cool each of the artists’ work embodies the very real ethos and energy that personified the punk rock movement in NYC - the antithesis of raw simplicity and traditionalism. This exhibition showcases the natural blend of the very different, yet complimentary subject matters and artistic references of each artist, inspired by the complexity and authenticity that drove the movement; a different approach to seeing, being and creating.
