The New Media program at Purchase College, SUNY and Franklin Street Works, a contemporary art space in Stamford, CT, organized this group exhibition, which is on view at Purchase College’s The Passage Gallery, beginning September 6. Curated and coordinated by Purchase College faculty and students along with the Franklin Street Works team, the exhibition kicks off the 2013 season at the school’s student gallery. The show features ephemera, documentation, and publications that include photos, videos, zines, and books from more than 30 artist collectives from across the U.S., including Chicago, New York, Pittsburgh, Winston-Salem, and San Francisco. “Collective Action Archive” will be on view from September 6 – 29, 2013.
