Apology: Flowers & Candy Launches at agnès b. New York

Featured image, Tara Sinn's 2013 inkjet print, "Candy Splooge," is reproduced from the new edition of Apology magazine, which previews Thursday, August 1 at agnès b., New York, alongside Apology: Flowers & Candy, a group exhibition of photographs, paintings, drawings, and poems curated by Jesse Pearson, founder and editor of the influential quarterly. Taking the idea of apology as its launching pad, the exhibition offers varied takes on the two classic gifts of remorse. In work that ranges from beautiful and delicate to coarse and funny, the seemingly banal subjects of flowers and candy will be presented in many guises. Participating artists include Pearson's regular collaborators, Roe Ethridge, Terry Richardson, Tim Barber, Tara Sinn, and Richard Kern. Also appearing will be newer voices such as Sandy Kim, Daniel Arnold, Jerry Hsu, Sammy Harkham, Jim Krewson and Duncan Hannah, among others.
