White Columns is proud to present “Update” an exhibition of recent works by eleven artists who have participated in White Columns programs during the past three years.

The current “Update” exhibition was informed by White Columns’ annual “Update” exhibition series which ran for many years beginning in the mid 1980s. The original “Update” exhibitions provided an opportunity for White Columns to re-privilege and re-contextualize the work of artists who had received significant support and early exposure at the gallery. The current “Update” exhibition brings together new works – produced in the past year – by artists who showed at White Columns between 2005 and 2007. (In most cases their initial show at White Columns was their first individual or two-person exhibition in New York.)

Anthony Campuzano had a solo ‘White Room’ exhibition at White Columns in June/July 2005.

Over the past three years, since the arrival of current Director Matthew Higgs, White Columns has presented then work of more than 350 artists in more than 100 individual exhibitions and projects. In the future we will host “Update” exhibitions every three years.
