“”The expression on Clementine’s face, the subject of Nadine Robbins’ painting Try and Stop Me, is a reaction to not having the opportunities she deserves. The opportunities she is missing out on because of her gender. Clementine asked her father for a small loan to jumpstart her business. Her father explained that he would rather give the loan to her brother because, as a man, he can maintain a business. Here we see Clementine’s visceral reaction of not having the support of the better option when starting her business.” ”
The Modern Love Club is pleased to present a group exhibition entitled FOMO, a group exhibition featuring nearly a dozen contemporary painters, curated by Marina Press Granger. FOMO is an acronym for Fear of Missing Out, a condition identified in the early oughts by Patrick J. McGinnis in an article for The Harvard Business School magazine, The Harbus. FOMO, an acronym for Fear of Missing Out, affects us all. Whether it is on social media or other content we see online. As a society, we are constantly bombarded by information especially information about other people; their travels, their successes, their failures, and all the details of their lives. And so, we are oversaturated with this information and face FOMO in that way. The paintings in this exhibition all comment on FOMO. So appropriately, it is being presented in one of the busiest neighborhoods of the city that never sleeps - New York City’s East Village. Something is always happening here. Something that someone is almost always wishing they were a part of.
