Choreographing A Collection

“The Jonah Bokaer Arts Foundation celebrated its 15th Anniversary with a presentation & auction of fifteen works. Each selected piece became a part of the foundation's art collection under unique personal and professional circumstances spanning the years since the company was founded in 2003.

'Choreographing A Collection' celebrates the artists represented in the collection. Their multidisciplinary art practices often express instability and dislocation, but at the same time, render a shelter for creativity. Several thematic threads suggest concepts of measurement and chance, duality and order that in the words of Jonah Bokaer referring to the practice of Terry Winters, 'play with the grid of space and time'.

Jonah Bokaer has 'choreographed' a collection inspired by friendship and artistic passion. In the no-man's-land between intention and chance, a remarkable group of artists have staked a claim for experimentation that is determined and clear in purpose while keeping the possibility of chance and serendipity always present.

By acquiring any of the notable works you contribute to making the wide breadth of Jonah's ground-breaking projects possible, for which we are infinitely grateful. “ - Turid Meeker
