IMUR Gallery x Tina Maneca: Welcoming the Iconic #2000Bananas Traveling Installation

IMUR Gallery is thrilled to announce an exciting collaboration with artist Tina Maneca!

From Andy Warhol’s iconic banana silkscreen for the Velvet Underground’s 1967 album cover to most recently Maurizio Cattalan’s duct taped banana installation, Tina too is using the banana as a pop culture reference.

This December, we are proud to host her much-talked about #2000Bananas traveling installation – a vibrant, thought-provoking exploration of pop culture and abundance.

Exhibit Dates: December 14 to December 22
Location: IMUR Gallery, 67 Greene St, Jersey City
Special Opening Night: Join us for an evening of art, conversation, and celebration with Tina Maneca herself on December 14, 2-8pm

#2000Bananas is a traveling installation of hundreds of handmade ceramic bananas created and curated by artist Tina Maneca. In 2023 the show was conceived to raise money for the defunded Jersey City Art & Studio Tour. The artist made molds from 23 distinct looking bananas, slip cast and delicately refined the molded bananas. The majority of the installation consists of Maneca’s creations, speckled with bananas painted by 20+ invited artists.
