Some artists like to create works from scratch. Others prefer destroying what already exists to imbue the resulting detritus with new life. At Primary Projects, “His Wife & Her Lover” is a new exhibit whose curatorial premise is the notion of causing damage to something in order to redirect its existence. The group show features work by Valerie Hegarty, Mark Jenkins, George Sanchez Calderon, Scott Shannon, Manny Prieres, Emmett Moore, Franky Cruz, Andrew Nigon, Cleon Peterson, Nick Klein, Johnny Robles, Jessy Nite and Edouard Nardon.

Displaying a healthy dose of defiance and broad artistic practices, and not unlike the protagonists engaged in a steamy love triangle, the show’s participants rise to the challenge with a call-and-respond to destruction, secrecy, violence, social class, pride and desire.
