ART ATTACKS

Art Attacks were pop-up exhibitions in the trucks of Rabbit Movers (founded by Shawn Lyons, 2003; sold in 2020), converted into galleries with white walls, track lighting and steps up into the truck. The first was in August 2009. They were frequent for the next couple of years, then occasional after Hurricane Sandy in 2012, continuing until 2020.

  “Creative Opportunity: Heavy Lifting Required” profiles Rabbit Movers (founded by Shawn Lyons, 2003; sold in 2020), a Brooklyn moving company, as an artists’ collective whose movers are all artists, musicians and writers, and mentions its gallery and performance space in DUMBO, Rabbithole Studio. The photograph published with it shows The Party Faithful, with Lindsay Mound and Justin William Lin, performing in the back of a Rabbit Movers truck.
