Curator-led walkthrough: 6:00pm
Artist performance: 6:30pm
Sean Kelly, New York, is pleased to participate in the 2023 edition of the ADAA Chelsea Gallery Walk. At 6pm curatorial fellows Cornelia Stokes and Kiara Cristina Ventura will lead a walkthrough of NXTHVN RECLAMATION. Artists Athena Quispe, Ashante Kindle, Donald Guevara, and Edgar Serrano will also speak about their work. The walkthrough will be followed with a performance by Anindita Dutta.
The exhibition embodies the multiplicities of human experience through painting, drawing, collage, sculpture, installation, and performance. Presenting artists from NXTHVN’s Cohort 04 Fellowship Program; Anindita Dutta, Donald Guevara, Ashanté Kindle, Athena Quispe, Edgar Serrano, and Capt. James Stovall V, the exhibition was curated by Curatorial Fellows Cornelia Stokes and Kiara Cristina Ventura. These artists have created forms that contradict the viewer’s expectation of recognizable materials and icons, as a means to challenge the perceptible limits of our social conditioning and humanity. Throughout RECLAMATION, each artist interrogates and reclaims the power of Western consumption as it relates to notions of beauty, art history, religion, spirituality, and sexuality.
