Open Ground is pleased to announce its inaugural appearance at the Pool Art Fair in New York City, with work from the following member artists:
Kim Babcock
Robyn Desposito
Michael Guajardo
Bethany Harris,
Patrick May
Lolo Rodriguez
Christa Toole
These artists explore identity and power through the poignant aesthetics of this art collective based in New York.
Kim Babcock’s oil paintings are based on direct observation, reflecting on the fragmented experience of living in New York City. Robyn Desposito examines the notion of our presence and absence, what we carry with us and what we leave behind. Michael Guajardo experiments with micro-controllers, electricity and alternative energy as he expands his work into the realm of conceptual multi-media. Bethany Harris’s Polaroids explore the human body shot from various angles and proximities and the slow to sudden recognition of the distorted images. Patrick May creates schizophrenic landscapes surrounding the fantasy of security. Lolo Rodriguez utilizes the figure of the serpent to trigger emotions and sensations at a subconscious level. Christa Toole plays with transformations and juxtapositions using various materials including oil paint, wax, thread, and tape.
Open Ground supports aesthetic innovation. These artists find unique moments of belonging through divergent media, processes, and symbols. We invite you to visit our room at Pool!

ABOUT OPEN GROUND
Open Ground is a social space and an open network, constituted by artists, and open to all. Open Ground has emerged from an eight-year experiment with a revolving roster of multidisciplinary artists who support and contextualize each other’s creative work through exhibitions, performances and studio critiques.
The collective was originally housed in a gallery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, where artists practiced an open-source, consensus-based curatorial process. The space became a breeding ground for community building, a place to support local politics, and a headquarters for radical ideas, experimental work and progressive dialogue. Open Ground has nurtured a wide range of artistic styles, and brought hundreds of visitors into a conversation about art and community. We’ve articulated values of openness, generosity, experimentation and DIY-volunteerism that are essential to the progressive spirit of art.
The participating artists have leveraged the support of Open Ground to develop their voice, creating artwork that is unexpectedly inclusive and beautifully aware of their environment. Our dialog is based on profound respect for each other’s cultural and artistic differences.
