New Art in New Jersey - hyperallergic
New Jersey’s image is calcified with tired cultural signifiers. It’s old hat. So it was lovely to encounter the Newark Museum’s latest exhibition, Ready or Not: 2014 New Jersey Arts Annual, a show displaying works by 40 contemporary artists based in the state. Ranging in different stages in their careers and hailing from locales such as Jersey City and points far south, the annual survey gives the visitors a fresh angle to regard the Garden State and the current condition of art making in the shadow of New York City.
