\"Mister<\/p>\n

New York, NY<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0The Art-Z group, founded by artist Elliott Arkin, announced today the exhibition of a scale-model Mister ArtSee, a vintage ice-cream truck completely transformed into a wondrous mobile arts laboratory that can\u00a0travel city streets<\/strong>\u00a0and will host a wide array of engaging projects including installations, sound-pieces, performances, presentations, visual art and videos.\u00a0The exhibition debuts on September 10th<\/sup>\u00a0at Half Gallery during the New York Fall art preview and runs through September 17th<\/sup>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A first-of-its-kind experimental platform in both form and content, Mister ArtSee was conceived by Elliott Arkin,\u00a0and designed by Atelier DNA, a New York City architecture and technology studio headed by architect Dario Nunez-Ameni. A work of art as well as a space for art, Mister ArtSee has been developed to maximize versatility, accessibility and expandability as a self-sufficient, multipurpose art-mobile, whose possibilities are limited only by the imagination of its participants.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike a Swiss-army knife,\u00a0Mister ArtSee will be\u00a0equipped with numerous extensions\u2014a platform stage, video projectors, a podium\u2014with the ability to fold out and open up to facilitate such projects,\u201d said artist Elliott Arkin. \u201cThe design seeks to achieve\u00a0maximum versatility and\u00a0world class artistry\u00a0to\u00a0fulfill our mission\u00a0of\u00a0bringing\u00a0<\/wbr>information and contemporary art to\u00a0the areas it visits, especially\u00a0neighborhoods, schools, playgrounds, parks and public spaces not typically served by traditional art institutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to Half Gallery founders James Frey, Bill Powers and Andy Spade, who represent Arkin, Mister ArtSee\u2019s Board of Advisors include: the prominent Dutch art collectors Ben and Coco Van Meerondonk; Museum Magazine’s creator Larry Warsh; New York Cares founder Noah Gotbaum; architect Dario Nunez-Ameni and artists Marc Lafia, Kiki Seror and Renee Cox. The group has received several grants including $50,000 from the Annenberg Foundation, as well as a The Brooklyn Arts Council re-grant from the New York State Council on the Arts<\/p>\n
