Michael Alan is a force of nature. He's New York City's art darling. In his latest art exhibit at 17 Frost, which also doubles as a performance art piece with live figure models, he sought to tackle what many artists have been obsessed all throughout history: depression. Aptly titled “FUCK DEPRESSION / THE LIVING INSTALLATION,” Alan sought to create a safe space for others to cope with their depression, to rid themselves of isolation, and birth something magical and beautiful out of the grotesqueness of loneliness.
