Gallery
“Arts task is to save the soul of mankind and that anything less is a dithering while Rome burns.”Terence McKenna
The Label Gallery espouses the idea that talent is arbitrary.
Art is the essential component in our culture that serves as an indicator of where we are in our personal and collective evolution.
Our present culture is starved for art that is not media manufactured but merits the power to communicate with the facets of the soul and psyche. The inflationary aspects of the art market has spawned ready-made false prophets.
Art has been subjected to control and suppression by profiteers, who use the media for a hamster wheel formula of continuing to shock the already desensitized, in a calculated and contrived void which has surrendered meaning to a vacuous cliché.
The system, which has suffocated the essential motive of art, needs to be reassessed. The gallery represents emerging talent unwilling to mold themselves to this system.
It also reflects on the meaning and role of art through new historical perspectives via the trajectory of its past.
An artist is merely a transmission serving as merely a conductor to a higher consciousness. The Label Gallery concentrates on artists that do not compromise the source of this vision.
These
artists create art as the pipeline to reconnect to a greater source
proving the insights to understand the greater purpose of collective
existence.
Commencing April 2007 Label opened to the public a gallery extension at its Lafayette St. New York City store. The Label Media Arts Gallery focsses on the promotion of artist video and the historical background that catalyzed the birth of this medium.
The Gallery will be accessible during store hours as well as hosting evening events where the space will be cleared to present video and film showcases. Its aim as a gallery will be to focus on the education and accessibility of culture to our neighborhood and community while allowing with new technologies an unfamiliar medium of the arts to be presented.
At these times, the store will be transformed into a cleared space for the exclusive viewings of the projected artist works.
