PRESS RELEASE
Curated and presented by Slow Burn NYC, UGLY. is the fourth installment of the annual, single-day, Slow Burn pop-up art exhibition. Including up to 40 participating artists, this show will feature individual and collaborative work exploring the spectrum of this very common and subjective word.

These works are meant to focus our understanding of the hidden, buried and rejected - things we shy away from and the, often undeserved, recipients of contempt. A word used most commonly as a means of expressing aesthetic preferences, “ugly” can inspire a deeper and less tangible disdain for associations, memories, and more. This exhibition will aim to embrace the unembraced and explore what is beyond the surface sentiment of "ugly".
