“Inside The Episode”

A familiar staple of the summer group show is to ask a famous artist to curate a show of lesser-known talents that he or she likes. The choices often reflect the artist’s own aesthetic and range from fresh faces (who are sometimes the curator’s studio assistants) to artists who’ve been around round the block more than once. Since the artist in question here is Jack Pierson, the works here sometimes evince a certain confessional tone and tendency toward personal narratives.
