Robert O’Connor: The Waters are Unsafe

May 1, 2008—May 31, 2008

NY Studio Gallery is pleased to present THE WATERS ARE UNSAFE by video artist and painter Robert O’Connor. Inspired by junk-mail charity letters, O’Connor focuses on the burden of empathy. He states: “But how can I possibly respond?  How can I, or anyone for that matter, assimilate this constant stream of despair (not only from my mailbox but from the myriad communication sources that permeate modern life)?  I’m afraid I might drown, or worse, become numb and stop caring.”
