Major Artists Depict of Carnival Dreams & Nightmares

Jeffrey Deitch
POV
'Carnival, Curated by Joe Coleman' brings together over 60 artists to display their freaky, frisky, and fun scenes of the beloved, and sometimes socially taboo, festivity. Don't miss Marnie Weber's 'Self Portrait as a Clown' as a queen watching over the show, while Derrick Adams takes a contemporary cubist approach to fit characters entangled into their environments.

ABOUT
Drawing on this colorful, subversive, and often provocative world, Jeffrey Deitch has invited artist Joe Coleman to curate Carnival, an exhibition opening on May 3 at our 18 Wooster Street gallery. The artists featured in the show engage with themes of spectacle, rebellion, and free expression in unexpected and thought-provoking ways. - Jeffrey Deitch
