Judi Werthein: Corporate Logo September 5, 2007

Judi Werthein, who caused a stir two years ago by providing illegal immigrants with shoes and supplies for jumping the Mexican border, decks out the sixth-floor gallery of Art in General to look like a corporate lobby, in celebration of the not-for-profit's 25th anniversary. To plaster the gallery space, website, and letterhead of an organization that selflessly commissioned and brought to light the diverse work of hundreds of artists with a single, iconic corporate logo — well, the joke is poignant, if not a little unnerving. To get a feel for the scope of AG's work over the years, a survey of the gallery's history runs concurrently with Corporate Logo at the UBS Gallery in Midtown.
