Artist Meeting (A.M.) is a research project and experiment in the development of a local art community. New York City, the capital of the "art world", primarily driven by its capitalists systems and elitist academic historical baggage continually keep most artists separated. Entering from a million directions, the individual market abused artist for the most part is alone and taught to overly protect their ideas for fear someone else with more connections or more money will come along and take them as their own. Collectives appear and disappear as artists form temporary autonomous zones for various reasons, usually rooted in the possibility of financial opportunity and exposure. A.M. seeks to question these structures while simultaneously engaging in a creative dialogue and a supportive environment to discuss topics pertinent to each others work.
