Blurb from YAMS:

Invited by Ibrahim Ahmed III, GrungeCake Magazine visited Rupert Ravens Contemporary on Market Street in Newark, New Jersey for a 24 solo artists project. We watched Ahmed introduce and speak about his artwork, met and learned about new artists, and enjoyed our commute on the NJ Transit. For some of the cool pieces on display, kindly scroll. We will like to take the time to thank Rupert Ravens Contemporary for linking a GrungeCake article on their website. Thank you loads!

This exhibition explores next art as conduit, vessel. These items of depth transport and continue to deliver the goods beyond first glance. In ship to shore communication, a message floats from the mother ship out to a new land, new recipients. Here a circulatory system is launched, imploding the deflective icy surface of contemporary art’s banality. Sentient synapses fire up the biological percolation that underlies perception. Likewise, these artworks spawn a regenerative reciprocation between object and perceiver.
