Curated by Jean Barberis from the Flux Factory and Michelle Levy the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts, EFA Project Space. A book club was the conceptual framework for the Arctic Book Club exhibition. Twelve artists who were invited to participate starting in the Spring of 2009 to read, discuss, and make art in response to Tété-Michel Kpomassie's 1981 book, An African in Greenland at the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts studio building at 323 West 39th Street in Manhattan.
The concept of the show furthered the goals of the EFA Project Space to create space for collaboration with other art and cultural organization and thus bridging gaps in the art community and expanding audiences for the arts.
