To coincide with the 2012 Columbia University MFA thesis show at the Fisher Landau Center for Art in Queens, the Metro Deli in Brooklyn proudly presents, Essential the artists' work as a series of four inch cubes. The exhibition runs co-current with the MFA thesis show and is viewable all Friday night to Sunday afternoon in May. This show was made possible by Hussain Abuzaid and The Metro Deli, 381 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211 who I thank for this opportunity along with all the participating artists without whose trust and open minds this would not be possible.
