If you're beginning an art career in the face of imminent economic meltdown, then clearly you've got something to say. Bronx Calling: The First AIM Biennial is now introducing a new generation of emerging artists who participated in the 2011 AIM (Artists in the Marketplace) Program. Often, perhaps unsurprisingly, the work is a little too reflective of a marketplace that tends to muddle passion and bastardize ideas.
