Art Collective Makes Shakespeare More Like ‘The Bachelor’
“In Pursuit: Art on Dating,†a new group exhibition at Soho’s small but curatorially interesting ISE Cultural Foundation, tackles dating in the 21st century (i.e., MySpace, Facebook, JDate, eHarmony, random encounters on the subway, I Love New York, etc.). Collective Art Hijack performed their All You Need Is Love at the center Tuesday, and above is a photo from a previous performance. This riff on Romeo and Juliet suggests that in our day and age there would be three Juliets to one Romeo — sort of a Shakespeare–does–The Bachelor. Live. Could get interesting. “In Pursuit†is up at ISE through January 11. —Rachel Wolff
