Deborah Kass Exhibitions at Paul Kasmin and Bellwether Galleries in New York

Two exhibitions featuring Deborah Kass's work opened in New York City in September 2007. At Paul Kasmin Gallery, located at 293 10th Avenue, the show ran from September 7 to October 13. Simultaneously, Bellwether Gallery at 134 10th Avenue presented a separate exhibition from September 8 to October 6. These shows were positioned at opposite ends of the 10th Avenue gallery corridor, inviting direct comparison between the presentations. The artist's work was described as engaging with themes of arson reconceived as an avant-garde gesture, altering perceptions of exhibition spaces. A public call was made to permanently install one of Kass's street-smart sculptures in the DUMBO neighborhood of Brooklyn. The exhibitions marked a significant opening to the gallery season that year.
