"Coinciding with the launch of The Unibrow magazine, T&Y Projects will host The Unibrow: A Post-Juxtapoz Story at 30, Part 2, an exhibition curated by Juxtapoz editor and The Unibrow co-founder, Evan Pricco. The show marks the last years of Juxtapoz magazine and the beginning of a new arts biannual, The Unibrow. The exhibition is seen as a bridge between cultures, a nuanced look at the long-standing conversation between Japan and California in both conceptual ways and direct narratives."
"The Unibrow's origins are in the bringing together of histories and stories, both cultural and visual, and the artist's reflected in the show have confronted and conversed with the idea of cultural bridges and connections. The artists in the show include Barry McGee, Jean Jullien, Sachi Moskowitz, Haroshi, Sickid, Yusuke Hanai, Ozzie Juarez, CR Stecyk III, Ayako Rokkaku, Adele Renault, Julian Pace and Susanne Melanie Berry."
"Part of this exhibition is the idea of The Outsider looking in, looking at concepts of distance and trying to illuminate commonalities. Across the Pacific, Japanese and Californian artists move like tides-separate shores, shared currents-borrowing light and remaking one another. And at the center of the show is Jean Jullien, a Parisian artist with ties to both California and Japan, overlooking the expanse of these cultures to the wider world and what it means beyond the Pacific Rim."
T&Y Projects hosts The Unibrow: A Post-Juxtapoz Story at 30, Part 2, curated by Evan Pricco, coinciding with The Unibrow magazine launch. The exhibition signals the final years of Juxtapoz magazine and the start of a new arts biannual, The Unibrow. The exhibition bridges Japanese and Californian cultures through conceptual and narrative approaches. The Unibrow originated by assembling cultural and visual histories and stories. The participating artists, including Barry McGee, Jean Jullien, Sachi Moskowitz, Haroshi, Sickid, Yusuke Hanai, Ozzie Juarez, CR Stecyk III, Ayako Rokkaku and others, each engage histories tied to skate, surf, anime, manga, craft, and sport. The exhibition centers on outsider perspectives, distance, shared currents, and Jean Jullien's cross-Pacific viewpoint.
