Exhibition A is excited to announce the second edition of our ongoing Curator Series: a group exhibition entitled @ Brad Phillips’ Group Show, curated by Brad Phillips and featuring works on paper by Cristine Brache, Danny Ische-Knoblauch, Ella Flood, René Kemp, Maud Madsen, Emiliano Maggi, Uman, Michelle Uckotter, and Frances Waite. 

Armed with a fervent appreciation and near-encyclopedic knowledge of art, artist Brad Phillips has been virtually curating a stream of consciousness style group show under the Instagram account @brad_phillips_group_show for years. The account has garnered an engaged following, in part, because Brad has no agenda other than sharing great art. In the second edition of our ongoing Curator Series, we approached Brad to bring his virtual group show to life through an online exhibition featuring series of works on paper by 9 artists who have recently caught his eye. 

In his typical deadpan fashion, Brad remarks, “There is a popular idea in sociology that ten thousand hours doing something makes one an expert. Therefore, after decades spent making and looking at art, I am capable of distinguishing between bad, good, and exceptional works of art with seconds. The pieces in this show represent the latter, having been encountered while scrolling through visual art on Instagram. I hope people enjoy this selection of work, which is admittedly aligned with my own obscure taste.”
