The Most Curatorial Biennial in the Universe hosted by apexart invited curators (or artists as curators) to submit two works of her or his choice. Ms. Settles curated two works for the exhibition: an untitled lithograph by Ryan Day, and a drawing entitled Sine Wave by Settles herself. This unusual exhibition humorously spotlights the abundance of art biennials and gravely points out the prevalence of poverty. The works are up for auction on the apexart site, with all proceeds going to the Robinhood Foundation of New York to fight poverty in that city. This is an important chance to combat the oft neglected social ill of poverty. Please bid generously.
