- Cary Leibowitz
Cary Leibowitz aka Candyass (born 1963) is an American
conceptualist visual artist. His humorous artworks are a self-deprecating mélange of self-doubt, self-loathing as well as mirrors of overarching multicultural woe—particularly “Jewishness” set in aqueer subtext. Leibowitz’s works are proclamations of outsider awareness, vain signboards of a visceral need to assimilate oneself within one’s cultural surroundings—an allusion to the horrors of theHolocaust and the necessity forJews to “pass” asGentiles . His works serve to question the role of art as "TheNew York Times " writer Holland Cotter espouses “post-beauty, post-theory, post-cool, post-mature.” Leibowitz’s work can be found in the permanent collection of theChase Manhattan Bank , the Hirschhorn Museum, TheJewish Museum , New York; the Peter and Eileen Norton Collection and the Robert J Shiffler Foundation.External links
