The work of emerging artists Hatnim Lee, Kristina Bilonick, Theodore Knox, Ben Fino-Radin and Sean Johnson premiers at Honfleur starting June 22nd, 2009, as they touch on contemporary society and their own rites-of-passage. Curator Steven Frost selected the five artists for this exhibition, who have emerged from rites of passage with unique perspectives. The title refers to a reclaiming of societal rites of passage by artists who may not relate in a traditional sense. Reincorporation is defined as the the act of forming again into society or legal entity- ie, rejoining society after experiences separating one from it. Artist Sean Johnson sums up the artists position thus; "I find in many ways confronted by the norms that construct our everyday conversations, our ideals and how we perceive life. Challenging these ideals creates conflict, but simultaneously allows us to consider a different perspective about how others exist, and break away from securities that we latch onto."
