Textures of Feminist Perserverence

The James Gallery CUNY Graduate Center

Textures of Feminist Perseverance asks how women's daily experiences and contributions are recorded in physical, virtual, and social public spheres. Centering the work of 17 female-identifying artists, this project supports artists who are imagining ways for women to take up the space they are already producing. What might a city honoring women's lived experiences look like? How can the city be a living archive of women's accomplishments in a visual vocabulary that may not already be recognized in the dominant discourse? This work is often achieved through a preoccupation with hands-on and labor-intensive making practices that foreground physical and embodied attentiveness to materials, social gathering, and awareness of time.

Transgressing Lands:

Eleven Contemporary Artists Reimagine A Horizon

ELM Foundation | The Boiler
191 North 14th st. Brooklyn, NY

February 29th – March 28th, 2024
Gallery Hours: Tuesday – Saturday: 1 – 6pm

The Boiler | ELM Foundation is proud to present Transgressing Lands: Eleven Contemporary Artists Reimagine a Horizon featuring work by Jeannine Bardo, Nancy Cohen, Cristina de Gennaro, Deborah Jack, Natalie Moore, Itty Neuhaus, Nazanin Noroozi, Lina Puerta, Corinne Teed, Elizabeth Velazquez, and Letha Wilson. Reclaiming the horizon and re-establishing it as a mode of orientation and possibility, these artists explore the potential that landscape offers to locate ourselves within specificities of finite time and place as well as reveal entry points into infinitude. Each artist presents their own stakes including the role of memory and collectivity in containing vanished landscapes; the new terrifying sublime of disaster brought about by escalating climate change, displacement, and warfare; explorations of mindfulness, presence, and care manifested through close and attentive looking; revisions of colonial narratives; and aspects of entropy and renewal inherent within all existence.
