22 BARBARA CHOIT

Study for Group 3 (Solo Artists), 2005
sharpie marker on design vellum, 18" x 24"

Choit describes Group 3 as part of a series of “compilations of figures derived from my archive of little known rock groups, obscure recording artists, defunct musical projects, and vanity bands, assembled to mimic the photographic perspective of the ‘group photo.’ I consider these drawings to be both a record of bands on the Internet circa 2005 and fantasy ‘class of 2005’ promotional images for these underrepresented artists.” Born in Canada, the artist, archivist, and curator lives and works in New York City. Her educational background includes an MFA in Visual Arts/Photography from California Institute of Arts in Valencia, and an MA in Modern Art and Curatorial Studies from Columbia University in New York. Her work has been exhibited at Presentation House Gallery in Vancouver, Canada, Barbés in New York, Track 16 in Santa Monica, and Kunstraum Meunchen in Munich.
