SUMMARY:Reverence: An Archival Altar
DESCRIPTION:  \nKulimushi “Kuli” Barongozi\, Sydney “Syd” Bell\, Marquis Brantley Sr.\, Shaunda Holloway\, Marsh John\, Jasmine Nikole\, and Mel Phillips \nJune 28–November 23\, 2025\nOpening Saturday\, June 28\, 1PM–5PM \nReverence: An Archival Altar is an art-based project that celebrates the unique stories of the everyday person held as the “greats and giants” within the local Black community of New Haven. Through the memory work of story collection\, Reverence brings together the power of archival preservation and the sacred practice of ancestor veneration through altars. Archives are altars and the act of altar building is a deeply powerful practice that grounds viewers in the belief that all Black folks deserve to be witnessed and revered. \nAs a love offering\, artist and curator Arvia D. Walker connected families from New Haven\, Connecticut\, with local artists to transform their loved ones’ legacies into commissioned works. Many artists in the project chose to honor their own family’s great or giant. Artworks range from large-scale portraits to mixed-media pieces. These artworks capture the essence of each individual represented and are transformed into unique altar spaces created by Walker. \nWe thank the families of the giants who are featured in the exhibition: Mrs. Syla Alexandria Artis Branch\, Mr. James Brantley Sr.\, Ms. Juanita Keen Cooper\, Mrs. Elizabeth Fain\, Mrs. Annie Huckaby\, Mrs. EllaNora Price\, Mr. Douglas McClure\, and Mr. Edward Gillespie Benedict Miller III. \nNXTHVN is proud to host Reverence\, guest curated by Arvia D. Walker. \nThis project was made possible with the support of the Arts Council of Greater New Haven\, Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, and CEIO (Co-creating Effective and Inclusive Organizations). \nGallery Hours: Wed-Sun\, 2PM-6PM\nFor inquiries\, please email exhibitions@nxthvn.com\nFor updates\, please follow us on IG @_nxthvn_ \n  \nDetail image: Arvia D.

SUMMARY:This is Not a Retreat! NXTHVN Through the Years
DESCRIPTION:Hosted at Ford Foundation Gallery\n320 E 43rd St\, New York\, NY 10017 \nOn View: June 5-August 2\, 2025\nOpening Event: June 5\, 2025 | 5-7pm\nGallery Hours: Monday-Saturday | 11am-6pm \nCurated by Marissa Del Toro \nSince 2018\, NXTHVN has catalyzed the careers of 41 artists and 12 curators through a 10-month intensive Fellowship Program of mentorship\, professional development\, and hands-on training. Co-founded by Titus Kaphar and Jason Price\, NXTHVN is a space where creatives expand their skills\, network\, and confidence. This presentation of artworks created by NXTHVN alumni artists is a reminder of the strength and power of network\, camaraderie\, and support founded through art education and residencies. At a time when initiatives and support for the arts are being eliminated\, NXTHVN stands firm in supporting the work of talented artists and curators from around the world.  \nTHIS IS NOT A RETREAT! underscores the work and history of NXTHVN as an arts model that empowers artists and curators through education and access to a vibrant ecosystem. Each year at the beginning of the fellowship program\, Kaphar advises the newly admitted fellows that their time at NXTHVN will be quick but special with a reminder that “this [experience] is not a retreat.” Instead\, it is a space where artists and curators learn to fortify themselves with entrepreneurial knowledge\, deeper creative purpose\, inspiration\, and greater community. This exhibition honors the individuals who have contributed\, experienced\, supported\, and made NXTHVN into a prominent institution where access\, knowledge\, independence\, excellence\, artistic liberation\, and innovation flourish.  \nThis presentation brings together a grouping of NXTHVN’s alums from Cohort 01 to 05 through a selection of artworks from supportive collectors who have acquired significant pieces from these artists. Presented in ode of a salon hang\, the included artworks converse on a variety of topics and styles\, from repetitive vibrational healing energy to expressive strokes of subconscious world-building. Through a range of media\, including painting\, large-scale drawing\, sculpture\, and photography\, THIS IS NOT A RETREAT! highlights the distinct impressions of these artists within contemporary art. \nExhibiting artists: Felipe Baeza\, Layo Bright\, Allana Clarke\, Alexandria Couch\, Kenturah Davis\, Anindita Dutta\, Daniel Tyree Gaitor-Lomack\, Merik Goma\, John Guzman\, Eric Hart Jr.\, Fidelis Joseph\, Alyssa Klauer\, Africanus Okokon\, Esteban Ramón Pérez\, Jamaal Peterman\, Alexander Puz\, Patrick Quarm\, Athena Quispe\, Daniel Ramos\, Ilana Savdie\, Alisa Sikelianos-Carter\, Vaughn Spann\, Capt. James Stovall V\, Warith Taha\, and Vincent Valdez. \nImage detail: Patrick Quarm\, So We Dey\, 2024\, Mixed media: acrylic and oil on African print fabric\, wooden cornice\, 75 x 58 x 30 inches\, 3 layers. Courtesy of the artist. \nAbout the Curator \nMarissa Del Toro is Assistant Director of Exhibitions and Programs at NXTHVN in New Haven\, CT. Since 2021\, Del Toro has also worked with Museums Moving Forward\, a data-driven initiative to support greater equity and accountability in art museum workplaces. Previously\, she served as 2021-2022 Curatorial Fellow at NXTHVN and as the 2018-2020 Diversifying Art Museum Leadership Initiative (DAMLI) Curatorial Fellow at Phoenix Art Museum. She holds an MA in Art History from the University of Texas at San Antonio\, and is originally from Southern California\, where she received her BA in Art History from the University of California\, Riverside. \nAbout NXTHVN \nNXTHVN is a groundbreaking institution that combines the best of arts and entrepreneurship. Through access\, education\, programming\, and impact investing\, NXTHVN launches the careers of artists and curators and strengthens the livelihood of its local community. Located in the historically African American Dixwell neighborhood of New Haven\, CT\, the expansive adapted-reuse campus houses gallery\, studio\, library\, office\, coworking\, performance\, and living spaces in addition to a forthcoming storefront cafe. Cornerstone programs include a renowned fellowship to educate and accelerate emerging and underrepresented artists and curators\, paid arts apprenticeships for local high school students\, and business incubation to nurture cultural and capital value in the neighborhood. Co-founded in 2018 by acclaimed visual artist Titus Kaphar and private equity investor Jason Price—both longtime residents of New Haven—NXTHVN represents a new national arts model for developing an equitable society.

SUMMARY:The Things Left Unsaid
DESCRIPTION:The Things Left Unsaid \nMay 8 – June 21\, 2025\nOpening: Thursday\, May 8\, 6PM-8PM\nArtist Panel: Thursday\, May 29\, 6PM-8PM \nJames Cohan\n291 Grand Street\, New York\, NY \nJames Cohan and NXTHVN are pleased to present The Things Left Unsaid\, a group exhibition that explores interconnected questions of belonging\, adaptation\, absence\, and resilience. This culminating exhibition features the work of NXTHVN’s Cohort 06 Studio Fellows Baris Göktürk\, Kwamé Azure Gomez\, Patrick Henry\, Kristy Hughes\, Christopher Paul Jordan\, Reeha Lim\, and Napoles Marty\, curated by Curatorial Fellow Rigoberto Luna.   \nUtilizing wood\, repurposed objects\, process-based paintings on traditional and nontraditional surfaces\, and mixed media installations\, the artists navigate boundaries of perception and redefine space by examining the physical and emotional relationships with their environments. Formal gestures\, concealment\, and strategic omissions prompt viewers to engage with the unspoken narratives shaping our world. Through abstraction and material transformation\, the artists reclaim agency and emphasize unspeakable and unresolved aspects within their subjects\, inviting reflection on how personal experiences influence our understandings of history\, culture\, spirituality\, and memory. \nThe Things Left Unsaid showcases each artist’s distinct process while tracing the connective threads of transformation. Baris Göktürk fragments and layers historical documents and archival imagery onto canvas\, revealing charged ambiguities where personal memory and collective political history collide. Kwamé Azure Gomez navigates the emotional and psychological terrain of migration through expressive abstract paintings\, allowing what cannot be fully seen or articulated to linger. Gestural marks become proof of existence. By rearticulating everyday objects into sculptural\, metaphorically layered forms\, Patrick Henry reinterprets mythical and social Haitian narratives by constructing meaning from what is built\, broken\, and becoming. Kristy Hughes transforms overlooked and discarded quotidian materials into vibrant voluminous sculptures that reclaim joy and identity\, rooted in her personal history of invisibility. Christopher Paul Jordan hijacks conservation techniques\, extracting and re-embedding murals to reveal how loss transforms and what history cannot hold. Reeha Lim’s large-scale silk paintings engage the body’s negotiation of architectural boundaries\, highlighting themes of displacement through spatial interventions. Lastly\, Napoles Marty channels memory and myth through carved\, charred figures that blur reality and fiction in his representations of cultural symbols and rituals. Collectively\, these artists create a space for contemplation\, where absence speaks and the unspoken is registered through material presence. \nFor press inquiries\, please contact Sarah Stengel at sstengel@jamescohan.com or 212.714.9500.

SUMMARY:ALL AT ONCE | REFLECTED THROUGH GLASS 
DESCRIPTION:Salvador Jiménez-Flores\, Nopales seductores\, 2023\, Blown color glass\, 28 × 16 × 16 inches\, Courtesy of the artist. \nAngela Babby\, Layo Bright\, Cheryl Derricotte\, Einar & Jamex De la Torre\, Timo Fahler\, Salvador Jiménez-Flores\, Titus Kaphar\, Patrick Martinez\, Perla Segovia\, and more. \nMarch 8–May 18\, 2025\nOpening Saturday\, March 8\, 1PM–5PM \nSaturday\, April 5\, 2PM\nYouth & Family Program \nSunday\, April 6\, 2PM\nCuratorial Walkthrough \nAll At Once\, Reflected Through Glass showcases the artistic practice of glass as a medium of resistance. Utilizing the medium for critical and transformative storytelling\, the artists’ works reflect on social issues and inequities while connecting with personal and collective histories\, creating a space for dialogue within a complex multicultural world. Together\, these textured expressions invite viewers to engage with their respective messages\, consider their broader social context and challenge the traditional\, predominantly white narratives of glassmaking. \nThis exhibition revisits the industrial legacy of New Haven’s Dixwell neighborhood\, centering on NXTHVN’s campus. Once home to H. Puddicombe & Company (a manufacturer of art and leaded glass from 1920 to 1945) and the Macalaster Bicknell Company (a key producer of laboratory equipment and glassware from the 1940s to 2012) this building is a relic of Dixwell’s manufacturing past\, before its adaptive reuse and establishment as an arts incubator in 2019. Blending the history of glass production with NXTHVN’s mission to disrupt the art world’s status quo\, this exhibition highlights resistive and radical art-making through glass.    \nCurated by NXTHVN 2024-2025 Curatorial Fellow Rigoberto Luna. \nGallery Hours: Wed-Sun\, 2PM-6PM\nFor inquiries\, please email exhibitions@nxthvn.com\nFor updates\, please follow us on IG @_nxthvn_

SUMMARY:Awilda Sterling-Duprey: Aesthetics of dis-order
DESCRIPTION:Awilda Sterling-Duprey: Aesthetics of dis-order\nSeptember 28 – November 24\, 2024 \nGallery Hours: Wednesday – Sunday\, 2PM-6PM \nOpening Saturday\, September 28\, 2024\n1PM – 5PM\nFree and open to the public \nPublic Performance with Awilda Sterling-Duprey\nSaturday\, October 26\, 2PM \nYouth & Family Program: Bomba with Proyecto Cimarron\nSaturday\, November 23\, 1PM  \nNXTHVN is thrilled to announce Awilda Sterling-Duprey: Aesthetics of dis-order\, a solo presentation of works by NXTHVN’s visiting artist\, Awilda Sterling-Duprey. In conjunction with the exhibition\, a public performance featuring her “…blindfolded” work is set to premiere on Saturday\, October 26. For this performance\, Sterling-Duprey will be in dialogue with local New Haven musicians providing improvisational jazz and bomba acoustics while she allows her body to feel and translate the music into rhythmic bodily movements articulated into bright pastel markings\, lines\, and textures onto black construction paper.  \nAesthetics of dis-order is the first exhibition to focus on Sterling-Duprey’s exploration of abstraction from the 1970s to present. Included works range from paintings and drawings\, to newly recovered archival and ephemeral materials. Highlights in the exhibition include Sterling-Duprey’s 35mm (Kodak Ektachrome E100 Film) slides that present her study of abstraction in the natural and ubiquitous environments of San Juan\, along with visual records of her earliest abstract studies created on cardboard. Sterling-Duprey’s exploration of abstraction has resulted in an intuitive and electric corporeal response; most notable in her “…blindfolded” performances.  \nIn December of 2023\, Awilda Sterling-Duprey was awarded the Visiting Artist Prize. This partnership between NXTHVN and Untitled Art debuted this prize for the 2023 edition of the Miami Beach art fair\, awarding Sterling-Duprey with a $15K stipend and two-month residency as NXTHVN’s next Visiting Artist\, as well as her solo exhibition with NXTHVN.  \nABOUT THE ARTIST:\nAwilda Sterling-Duprey (b. 1947- San Juan\, PR). is an experimental\, independent\, and multidisciplinary artist that works and lives in San Juan\, Puerto Rico. Sterling-Duprey’s work explores identity\, gender\, diaspora\, language\, and migration\, challenging conventional notions of cultural\, national\, and gendered boundaries. Her work intertwines marginalities of self-representation and resistance\, confronting the silencing and invisibilizing of Afro-Caribbean women. Working with multidisciplinarity and feeding from Yoruba Caribbean traditions\, Sterling-Duprey transgresses the boundaries between drawing\, painting\, and performance through a decolonizing practice that challenges conventions in Puerto Rican fine arts traditions. \nShe is a founding member of Pisotón\, the first experimental dance collective in Puerto Rico. Recent group exhibitions include Puerto Rico Negrx\, curated by Marina Reyes Franco & María Elena Ortíz\, Museo de Arte Contemporaneo (MAC)\, San Juan\, PR; no existe un mundo poshuracán: Puerto Rican Art in the Wake of Hurricane Maria\, curated by Marcela Guerrero\, Whitney Museum of American Art\, New York\, US; Whitney Biennial: Quiet as It’s Kept\, Whitney Museum of American Art\, New York\, US; Cimarronas: artistas negras y afrodescendientes\, Museo Casa Escuté\, Carolina\, PR; Untitled II\, Kilometro 0.2\, San Juan\, PR. \nNXTHVN’S VISITING ARTIST PROGRAM:\nNXTHVN’s Visiting Artist Program is designed to enrich its arts ecosystem by inviting world-class artists to be in dialogue with our fellows\, apprentices and broader New Haven community. The Visiting Artist engages with the NXTHVN community and beyond through fellow studio visits\, workshops and community talks.  \n“We are excited to host Awilda Sterling-Duprey’s expansive work in the NXTHVN space\,” said Kalia Brooks\, interim executive director at NXTHVN. “The artist’s boundary-pushing exploration of culture and identity will bring a fresh perspective to our gallery space. Her insights into her artistic career over the years will prove invaluable to our Fellows and wider community during her time as a Visiting Artist.”

SUMMARY:Double Down
DESCRIPTION:DOUBLE DOWN\nJune 29 – October 27\, 2024\nGallery Hours: Saturdays & Sundays 12-5PM \n  \nThe Campus\n341 NY-217 Hudson\, NY 12534 \nNXTHVN is thrilled to present Double Down. Continuing a tradition of collaborating with New York-area galleries on a culminating exhibition for our fellowship year\, James Cohan and The Campus are partnering with NXTHVN to present Cohort 05’s annual exhibition.  \nDouble Down features the work of Studio Fellows Adrian Armstrong\, Alexandria Couch\, Eric Hart Jr.\, Fidelis Joseph\, Jamaal Peterman\, Eugene Macki and Alex Puz and is organized by Curatorial Fellows Marquita Flowers and Clare Patrick.  \nDouble Down joins presentations from Bortolami\, James Cohan\, kaufmann repetto\, Anton Kern\, Andrew Kreps and kurimanzutto for the inaugural exhibition at the galleries’ new shared upstate space\, The Campus. The Campus exhibition connects new and historical works by more than 80 artists. Embracing a collaborative model\, the galleries have turned an abandoned former school building into a platform for dynamic cultural exchange. Vacant since the ’90s\, the 78\,000-square-foot building of the Ockawamick School\, built in 1951 and largely unrenovated\, has been ripe for reanimation. Colorfully painted classrooms\, mid-century architectural details\, and generous natural lighting create a compelling context for artists to engage with the space\, the original purpose of the structure\, and one another.  \n“We’re thrilled that our Fellows will be part of the inaugural exhibition at The Campus. At NXTHVN\, we strive to provide our Fellows with education\, access and programming opportunities that nurture and advance artist careers. Exhibiting alongside established artists at an extraordinary new art space\, Double Down is a fitting closing show for our Fellows\,” said Dr. Kalia Brooks\, NXTHVN’s interim executive director. \nDouble Down will be on view from June 29\, 2024 to October 27\, 2024 at The Campus (341 NY-217\, Hudson\, NY 12534).\nGallery Hours are Saturday and Sunday\, 12-5PM \nFor press inquiries\, please contact carrie@olucompany.com

He received his BFA from Pratt University\, New York\, in 1996 and graduated with an MFA from Columbia University\, New York\, in 2003. Adams has held numerous teaching positions and is currently a tenured assistant professor in the School of Visual\, Media and Performing Arts at CUNY Brooklyn College. He also holds an honorary doctorate from Maryland Institute College\nof Art. \nAdams celebrates and expands the dialogue around contemporary Black life and culture through scenes of normalcy and perseverance. He has developed an iconography of joy\, leisure and the pursuit of happiness within a practice that encompasses paintings\, sculptures\, collages\, performances\, videos and public projects. Adams synthesizes representational imagery with\nplanar Cubist geometry to produce multifaceted figures and faces that address the richness of the Black experience. \nIn 2022\, Adams established Charm City Cultural Cultivation\, an organization to support and encourage underserved communities in the city of Baltimore through events conducted by three entities: The Last Resort Artist Retreat\, a residency program that subscribes to the concept of leisure as therapy for the Black creative; The Black Baltimore Digital Database\, a collaborative counter-institutional space for collecting\, storing and safekeeping the data of local archival initiatives; and Zora’s Den\, an online community of Black women writers started in January 2017\, which has since expanded into in-person writing workshops\, a writers’ circle and a monthly reading series that strive to promote instruction\, support and social engagement. \nABOUT ISAAC BLOODWORTH \n\nIsaac Bloodworth is a New Haven native and Black Artist. He is a graduate from the University of Connecticut’s Puppet Arts Program. Bloodworth’s works center around his blackness and the experiences of the black community in America. He envisions a world in which his original characters not only survive\, but thrive. \nAn experienced muralist\, Bloodworth collaborated with Citywide Youth Coalition to paint a permanent installation at their Black and Brown Power Center on Chapel Street. His latest mural was installed by The City of New Haven’s Department of Arts Culture and The Town Green Special; Services District at City Hall. One of his favored methods of storytelling is through puppetry\, using a style called “Crankie.” He has performed his puppet works for the Lineage Group at Art Space and at City-Wide Open Studios. Through his murals and puppet performances\, he hopes to inspire youth in the black community to see themselves in a positive light and help them understand their lived experiences. \nHe is a member of A Broken Umbrella Theater. \nABOUT JIHYUN LEE \n\nJihyun Lee (b.1979\, Seoul; currently based in New Haven\, CT) is a versatile artist known for her diverse exploration of mediums. Her work is interdisciplinary\, primarily centered around oil paintings of various scales\, ranging from intimate pieces to larger\, immersive works. Regardless of whether her art is representational or abstract\, Lee’s pieces resist simple interpretations\, encouraging personal reflection as they delve into open-ended themes and indeterminacy. Using surrealist and self-referential imagery\, Lee invites imaginative interpretations while candidly addressing contemporary themes related to womanhood and displacement. \nShe earned an M.F.A in Fine Arts\, at School of Visual Arts\, New York in 2018 and an M.F.A in Painting at Sungshin Women’s University\, Seoul in 2003. Lee has exhibited her work at institutions and galleries throughout East Asia and New York\, including but not limited to Seoul Museum of Art\, South Korea\, Busan Museum of Modern Art\, South Korea\, Marugame Genichiro-Inokuma Museum\, Kagawa\, Japan. Solo exhibitions include Arario Gallery (Seoul and Beijing)\, Doosan Gallery (Seoul and New York) \, and Sun Contemporary (Seoul). Selected publications include “Jihyun Lee: Reflective Surface” (2013); “Jihyun Lee: Threshold”(2008). \nABOUT SARAH ZAPATA \n\nSarah Zapata (b. 1988\, Corpus Christi\, TX) is an artist based in Brooklyn\, NY. She has held solo exhibitions with the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art\, John Michael Kohler Arts Center\, Performance Space New York\, el Museo del Barrio\, amongst others. Her work has been exhibited at the Barbican Centre\, Leslie-Lohman Museum\, Paul Kasmin Gallery\, Lisson Gallery\, amongst many others.

SUMMARY:TO ECHO A SHADOW
DESCRIPTION:Lungiswa Gqunta\, Benisiya Ndawoni\, 2020\, Thread\, sage\, fabric and barbed wire\, dimensions variable \nTo Echo a Shadow \nOn view from March 9 – May 19\, 2024. \nCurated by NXTHVN 2023-2024 Curatorial Fellows\, Marquita Flowers and Clare Patrick.  \nAsh Arder\nLungiswa Gqunta\nTorkwase Dyson\nOluseye \nTo Echo a Shadow is a group exhibition featuring site-specific installations by Ash Arder and Lungiswa Gqunta and select artworks by Torwkase Dyson and Oluseye. The exhibition brings these artists together to examine how industrialization has led to forced migration\, which in turn has evolved into a practice of developing multi-local forms of knowledge. The multi-local\, meaning to work on a local level across more than one region\, is highlighted through each artists’ practice and works on view. Heavily influenced by their present and ancestral geographic locations\, the artists have journeyed along various routes including: the suburban and urban centers of South Africa; Southern US to Detroit and Chicago; and the UK to West Africa\, as well as the Americas. The artworks use materials of sound\, soil\, smoke\, light\, memory\, movement and the associated and embedded experiences of ecology\, geography\, opacity and Blackness. The exhibition contends that the reverberations of enforced migration are unfixed\, responsive and ephemeral\, like an echo and a shadow. \nProgramming Dates:\nApril 13\, 2PM-4PM | Youth Stories: Sounds of New Haven during Open Studios\nMay 18\, 4PM-8PM | Sound-based performances featuring exhibiting artist Ash Arder \nGallery Hours: Wed-Sun\, 2PM–6PM\nFree and open to the public. \nFor inquiries\, please email exhibitions@nxthvn.com\nFor press inquiries\, please contact Carrie Paveglio at carrie@olucompany.com

SUMMARY:NXTHVN x Untitled Art in Miami | Booth A10 | Dec. 6-10
DESCRIPTION:NXTHVN’s debut booth at Untitled Art’s ‘Nest’ sector\, will feature the artwork of two of its woman-identified alumnae\, Alyssa Klauer (Cohort 03) and Anindita Dutta (Cohort 04). These artists use their practices to critique ideas around femininity and sexuality. Alyssa Klauer’s paintings meditate on girlhood in tandem with queerness and coming out late in life. Anindita Dutta’s multi-media shoe sculptures tease our fetishistic desires while advocating for agency and gender equality. Both Klauer and Dutta show us how the feminine dimension is a powerful source of strength and liberation that transforms sadness\, trauma\, and violence into expressions of beauty\, wonder and playful delight.  \nIn addition to the partnership with Untitled Art\, NXTHVN will also participate in Untitled Art Podcast panel discussion on December 6 at 2PM\, titled “Art Unveiled: Navigating the Ecosystem of Creativity.” NXTVHN alumni Jeffrey Meris\, Alyssa Klauer and Marissa Del Toro will engage in a dynamic dialogue sharing their creative journeys since completing their respective NXTHVN Fellowships in 2021 and 2022. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about their post-fellowship experiences and how they navigate the vibrant art ecosystem\, as well as their ever-evolving expressions of artistic liberation. \nNXTHVN Partnership with Untitled Art for VISITING ARTIST PRIZE \nNew to the 2023 roster of Untitled Art Prize Partners\, the NXTHVN Visiting Artist Prize will be awarded to an artist exhibiting at Untitled Art\, Miami Beach 2023.

SUMMARY:Saya Woolfalk: Field Notes from the Empathic Universe
DESCRIPTION:Saya Woolfalk: Field Notes from the Empathic Universe\nSeptember 23 – November 19\, 2023\nOpening September 23\, 2023 1PM–5PM \nSaya Woolfalk: Field Notes from the Empathic Universe invites visitors to enter the kaleidoscopic and culturally hybrid worlds created by the artist. The exhibition features an immersive video installation exploring portraiture and a series of new mixed media collages\, transformed by Woolfalk’s digitally-collaged murals. Known for her site-specific multimedia works that investigate global traditions and cultural difference\, Woolfalk is the creator of the Empathics—fictional futuristic beings who time-travel and shape-shift across the multiverse. This installation initially premiered in 2021 at Newark Art Museum\, where Woolfalk studied their herbaria (plant specimens) and landscape painting collections\, reinterpreting these artifacts—and their relation to American identity—from the perspective of the Empathics. \nAbout the Artist\nSaya Woolfalk is a New York-based artist who uses science fiction and fantasy to re-imagine the world in multiple dimensions. Working with a wide range of traditional and new media\, Woolfalk creates immersive installations that activate themes of hybridity\, technology\, and human culture.

SUMMARY:RECLAMATION
DESCRIPTION:NXTHVN Cohort 04\nJune 30 – August 11\, 2023\nOpening Reception: Thursday\, June 29\, 6PM–8PM \nNXTHVN and Sean Kelly are proud to present RECLAMATION\, a group exhibition featuring works that embody the multiplicities of human experience through painting\, drawing\, collage\, sculpture\, installation\, and performance. This culminating exhibition presents artists from NXTHVN’s Cohort 04 Fellowship Program; Anindita Dutta\, Donald Guevara\, Ashanté Kindle\, Athena Quispe\, Edgar Serrano\, and Capt. James Stovall V\, it is 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. \nAnindita Dutta’s sculptural and performance practice centers around reclaiming silenced voices\, untold stories\, and concealed horrors. Through her new series\, “Sex\, Sexuality\, and Society: Chapter Two\,” she retrieves the memories of objects that remain silent witnesses to sexual trauma. Utilizing sensuous materials such as used clothes\, boots\, shoes\, rawhide\, horns\, silk\, and velvet\, Dutta gives voice and power to these mutated materials. \nDonald Guevara constructs vignettes of AFK (away from keyboard) glitch spaces\, where images of cultural and religious icons\, bodily forms\, team sports\, magazine ads\, and trading cards are twisted\, wrapped\, layered\, and superimposed into complex and\, at times\, contradictory composites. Guevara utilizes collage\, drawing\, and painting as visual methods of interrogation into the glitch to explore how dissonant matters can forge a cyborg amalgamation where culture\, race\, and gender openly coalesce together. \nAshanté Kindle utilizes the textures\, curl patterns\, and styling of Black hair to envision new realities of personal existence that defy standards of conformity. Through her abstract paintings and video work\, she challenges easily digestible ideas of Black femininity. By magnifying the hair strand on canvas\, accentuated by stylish adornments\, the cellular properties of the hair follicle begin to symbolize the infinite space of the cosmos. \nAthena Quispe re-indigenizes the discourse of painting. Rooting her work in Peruvian pre-Hispanic painting and artistic production\, Quispe creates sculptural paintings to honor her ancestral bloodline through blood memory and inherited knowledge. This act intrinsically deconstructs European interdictions of pre-columbian art and traditions. \nEdgar Serrano’s paintings critically confront the canon of traditional Western art and artistic portraiture by critiquing European art’s misappropriation of indigenous artistic and cultural traditions in Africa and Latin America. Serrano’s works deceive the eye with loose expressionistic brushstrokes and tightly woven embroidery-like patterns that call attention to the surface of the canvas. Through his methodical style and play with optical appearances\, his paintings incite reactions of amusement\, trickery\, and wonder as they slowly reveal meaning. \nCapt. James Stovall V creates a relatable image of Christ and other biblical figures to comment on the relevancy of these idols’ appearance to the spiritual experience. By masking the figure\, Stovall V intervenes in the correlation between whiteness and divinity\, employing images that contradict the traditional physical appearance of these figures. His compositions also challenge convention as the tag-like drawing style and partially rendered figures refute religious iconographic historical paintings. \nThe works included in RECLAMATION remind viewers to be critical of the things we covet as a means of unearthing the systems that prescribe our longing. These artists show us the potential to liberate desire and image from corrupted ideologies that inform our understanding of art\, history\, beauty\, religion\, and sexuality. The new forms they create demonstrate to the viewer the necessity for reclaiming power structures to break through into new realms of human experience beyond simple classifications. \nPress Contact\nCarrie Paveglio\, Olu & Company\ncarrie@olucompany.com\n(586) 925-5546 \n

Summer Camp registrations will be available on site. \nThe exhibition and basketball court installation are organized by Common Practice founder (and NXTHVN’s Creative Director) John Dennis. \nABOUT COMMON PRACTICE\nCommon Practice utilizes the intersection of art and basketball to create community impact. The ideals of Common Practice have been expressed through ongoing exhibitions\, publications\, large-scale basketball court installations\, and cinematic storytelling. Recent projects include basketball court refurbishments and community activations with Faith Ringgold\, Edgar Heap of Birds and MoMA PS1. The book\, Common Practice: Basketball & Contemporary Art (2021\, Skira)\, co-edited by John Dennis\, Dan Peterson\, and Carlos Rolón\, with additional authorship by artists Titus Kaphar\, Michelle Grabner and RaMell Ross\, exists as a 350-page catalog of seminal artworks thematically unified by the use of basketball-related art and imagery. Proceeds from book sales have supported additional Project Backboard basketball court refurbishments and Common Practice programs. \nProject collaborator Kindred Studio is currently in production with a film about the connection between art and basketball and the collective impact of this intersectionality. The film will use COMMON PRACTICE: Public Access programming as an opportunity to invite key stakeholders in the Dixwell community to collaborate and share stories about their experiences growing up in the area. \nGallery Hours: Wed–Sun\, 2PM–6PM \nNXTHVN Gallery\n169 Henry St\nNew Haven\, CT 06511 \nFor inquiries\, please email exhibitions@nxthvn.com\nFor press inquiries\, please contact Carrie Paveglio at carrie@olucompany.com \n  \nPhoto Credit: You Talk Over a Beat by Anwulika Anigbo

SUMMARY:Undercurrents
DESCRIPTION:JUNE 10 – AUGUST 5\, 2022 \nOpening Reception: Thursday\, June 9\, 6-8pm \nCuratorial Walkthrough: Saturday\, June 11\, 11:30am – 1pm \nSean Kelly and NXTHVN are delighted to present Undercurrents a group exhibition that explores the nuanced relationship between materiality\, human longing\, and collective memory. This culminating exhibition will feature artists from NXTHVN’s Cohort 03 Fellowship Program; Layo Bright\, John Guzman\, Alyssa Klauer\, Africanus Okokon\, Patrick Quarm\, Daniel Ramos\, and Warith Taha\, it is curated by Curatorial Fellows Marissa Del Toro and Jamillah Hinson. There will be an opening reception on June 9 from 6-8pm\, the artists and curators will be present. On Saturday\, June 11 from 11:30am – 1pm there will be a walk-through of the exhibition led by curatorial fellows Marissa Del Toro and Jamillah Hinson. \nFeaturing a range of media including painting\, sculpture\, video and photography\, the Cohort 03 artists reveal the present undercurrents of poignant topics within the contemporary moment\, including investigations of how familial legacies and lineages\, cultural hybridity\, and collective memory shape personal experience. Through the examination of their material processes\, Undercurrents presents notions surrounding transformation and the many ways in which human longing is manifest. Using ubiquitous materials alongside exploratory techniques\, the artists layer and mold their media to give visibility to nuanced\, depth-filled narratives. This exhibition positions the artists in intimate conversation with one another while examining both the intricacy and range of their practices.   \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \nLayo Bright is a Nigerian sculptor whose works explore themes of migration\, inheritance\, legacy and identity through portraits\, textiles and mixed media. In Double Standard\, Bright contrasts quotidian plastic checkered bags\, which are often linked with migrants around the world\, with crushed glass\, addressing overlooked histories and notions of class. By fusing these materials\, she considers suppressed histories and the inevitability of migration in the current global climate. In her Visions series\, the artist merges visages with foliage\, taking inspiration from the natural environment and ancestry to create sculptural works that examine notions of nurture and legacy. Made from glass\, these forms mirror fragile\, yet complex relationships connected to colonial histories. \nJohn Guzman’s large-scale oil paintings deconstruct the body\, hands\, feet\, knees\, and teeth as a way to explore unfamiliar possibilities of the human form and interpret the unpredictable\, unusual\, and at times unbearable moments of life. In Purge he reveals an aggressive fight scene with swirls of black bold lines accentuating the gnarled body parts of hands\, feet and a nose enmeshed together. John reveals the visceral transformations the body may take by reducing it to textured lines and muted colors. \nAlyssa Klauer’s dreamlike works feature layers of saturated yet transparent paint\, intuitively combined to create a ghostly\, iridescent luminosity. Through her varied techniques of splattering\, dying\, and stenciling\, Klauer mediates on “Queer time” the idea that Queer individuals often experience a delayed or second adolescence when encountering time-bending experiences such as coming out later in life. In Allegory of Painting and other works\, this narrative emerges through colors evocative of DIY tie-dye\, smoky\, sky-written foliage\, and swirling sparkles reminiscent of fairy tales. This magic envelops the figures and distorts them within the disembodied\, surrealist non-spaces they inhabit. \nAfricanus Okokon works with the moving image\, performance\, painting\, assemblage\, collage\, sound\, and installation to explore the dialectics of forgetting and remembrance in relation to culture—as well as shared and personal mediated histories. As in his films\, the content depicted in the labored surfaces of Okokon’s paintings are appropriated both from private and public media — borrowing from family photo albums\, home movies\, advertisement\, and cinema to create an image of time that hovers between abstraction and representation. His interdisciplinary practice deals with loss\, the assumed truth of the recorded document and the moral function of memory. \nPatrick Quarm is a Ghanaian painter who employs a juxtaposition of traditional Western-style painting with politically charged African print fabrics as a metaphor to engage dialogues of cultural hybridity. His works in Undercurrents were created through processes of layering\, cutting\, and erasing\, characterizing his paintings with a visual topography that references the merging point of multiple cultures and how identity and the body transform across time and space. \nDaniel Ramos centers the people in his life—working-class and immigrant family\, friends\, coworkers—as the subjects of his work. He uses photography as a vehicle to amplify their presence in the world and has recently begun incorporating his photography into three-dimensional sculptures\, large-scale collages and mixed media installations; in Faith And Fate Go Hand In Hand and Memories Of An Artist As A Young Man\, Ramos combines his own photographs\, family heirlooms\, memorabilia and archives and places them directly on or among discarded doors and porch awnings\, which are taken from his family home in Monterrey\, Mexico. By revealing his own history\, Ramos aims to remind his viewer that the natural world is free from politics\, and if we preserve our own legacy\, we have control of our history. \nWarith Taha’s practice draws from a diverse field of research ranging from the aesthetics of visual abstraction\, self-portraiture and autobiography to 90’s Black Inches magazines\, found family photos and domestic objects. These points of interest become anchors in an ongoing autobiographical exploration that often touches on his relationship to American history\, race\, gender\, sexuality\, and class. His works carry a significant sense of care and consideration towards the minutiae of everyday life moments and objects\, especially those overlooked such as pennies\, rainbows\, and rain droplets. He uplifts and foregrounds the value of these objects by coalescing them into a collective whole where their presence is undeniable. \nFor information on the exhibition please visit skny.com \nFor press inquiries please contact Adair Lentini at Adair@skny.com \nFor all other inquiries please email Janine Cirincione at Janine@skny.com \nImage caption: 2021-22 Fellows Cohort 03 Photo by John Dennis Courtesy of NXTHVN \nDOWNLOAD PDF

SUMMARY:Let Them Roam Freely
DESCRIPTION:Darryl DeAngelo Terrell\, 279°W 42°21’39″ N 83°2’20″ W Detroit\, MI\, 2020. Digital photography\, 24″ x 36″ \nOpening: March 5\, 1 – 6 PM\nConversation with the Artists:\nSaturday\, March 5\, 3-4 PM\nFree and open to the public \nCurated by NXTHVN Fellows Marissa Del Toro and Jamillah Hinson \nLet Them Roam Freely is a two-person exhibition presenting newly commissioned projects and recent work by Hong Hong and Darryl DeAngelo Terrell that focus on the creation of portals through physical movement. A portal is a bridge\, a gateway\, a tunnel to a different time and space. Hong’s and Terrell’s respective practices evoke gateways linked to personal\, communal\, and cultural histories. They use performance-based methods to embody and document their passage\, resulting in large-scale work on paper for Hong and photography and sound for Terrell. \nThe commissioned projects were formed on-site in the Dixwell neighborhood of New Haven. In January 2022\, Hong enacted an experimental approach different from her traditional method of papermaking\, which is usually conducted outdoors in the spring and summer months. She used NXTHVN’s gallery as her studio to make the paper indoors and employed a more tactile process that required her hands to layer the surface of the work. In February 2022\, Terrell performed and composed new portals throughout Dixwell and its surrounding areas. Focused initially on the presence of Black history attached to specific locations and events throughout Detroit\, such as Belle Isle\, Terrell shifted to seeking out broader landscapes with Black leisure\, life\, and existence embedded into the environment. \nWithin Hong’s work\, we witness the impressions left by her physical application of materials as an expression of relocation\, specifically in terms of distance\, time\, and cultural shift from a place of origin. At the same time\, Terrell presents the cultural aftermath of living in a Detroit shaped by the Great Migration by aligning the visible and absent presence of these histories in their search and documentation of portals. Through such different lived experiences\, these two perspectives present the audience with nuanced personal expressions of the impact human dispersion has across land and through generations. \nThis exhibition centers on restorative and joyful practices rooted within the discovery and creation of thresholds to alternate worlds. The artists look towards portals as gateways\, vessels\, or entries (seen or unseen) to escape from or emerge into different realities. This exhibition initiates a visual conversation between Hong and Terrell that aims to restore new possibilities for the body’s position within conflicted systems of labor\, globalization\, and migration that have shaped the contemporary experience of time and space. \nLet Them Roam Freely and NXTHVN’s curatorial fellowship program are made possible with generous funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. \n  \nABOUT HONG HONG \n\nBorn in 1989 in Hefei\, Anhui\, China\, Hong Hong earned her BFA from State University of New York at Potsdam and MFA from University of Georgia. Since 2015\, she has travelled to faraway and distinct locations to create site-responsive\, monumental paperworks. In this nomadic practice\, traditional methods of Chinese papermaking coalesces with painting\, monastic rituals and feminist performances. Hong’s research investigates the voyages of bodies\, both plant and human\, across borders and between continents. Recent projects map interstitial relationships between globalization\, climate\, exile\, time-passing and the Chinese Diaspora through cartographic\, symbolic and material languages. \nHong’s work has been included in numerous exhibitions\, including solo and group shows at Real Art Ways\, Hartford\, CT; Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art\, Bentonville\, AR; Asia Society Texas Center\, Houston\, TX; Georgia Museum of Art\, Athens\, GA; Penland School of Crafts\, Penland\, NC; Lawndale Art Center\, Houston\, TX; and Jewett Art Center\, Boston\, MA. She has been invited to create public projects by Center for the Arts at Wesleyan University (Middletown\, CT)\, Art League Houston (Houston\, TX) and Artspace New Haven (New Haven\, CT). Hong has been awarded residencies and fellowships at MacDowell\, Yaddo\, Vermont Studio Center\, I-Park (2019) and Houston Center for Contemporary Craft. \n  \nABOUT DARRYL DEANGELO TERRELL \n\n \nCourtesy of Black Rock Senegal \n\nDarryl DeAngelo Terrell is a Detroit Based artist who primarily works within lens based media (i.e. photography\, video)\, performance and writing. They arealso a curator\, DJ\, organizer and educator. They received an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, where they studied with Xaviera Simmons\, Ayanah Moor\, Roberto Sifuentes and Faheem Majeed.

SUMMARY:CHRISTIAN CURIEL: BETWEEN REVERIES
DESCRIPTION:A Power Couple\, 2019 mixed media and black glitter on heavy prepared paper 5’x’6 each\, diptych 5’x12′ total Courtesy of the artist \n\nGallery hours: Wed-Sun\, 2-6pm or by appointment\nCOVID-19 Restrictions: Visitors must wear masks \nSeptember 25th – November 28th \nClick Here to Watch Between Reveries: A Conversation Between Christian Curiel and Titus Kaphar > \nNXTHVN is thrilled to announce the opening of the first solo exhibition in its gallery titled\, Christian Curiel: Between Reveries\, organized by Kalia Brooks and Victoria McCraven. The exhibition features the artwork of New Haven and Miami based artist\, Christian Curiel who creates open-ended\, narrative paintings that at first seem to depict banal events\, yet upon closer examination – abnormal actions\, elements\, or characters emerge. \nInspired by magic realism and the current human condition\, Curiel’s work mixes the real and unreal aspects of dream states as reflections on Latin American cultural and literary references\, as well as elements of ritual\, mystery\, and symbolism. The works are a collision of themes related to migration\, immigration\, belonging and identity placed within the complex\, highly emotional coded world of youth. His work evokes a dreamlike-state that represents the confusion and fragility of coming of age as the embodiment of the struggle for identity and a sense of belonging. The work also explores the influence memories and dreams have on the construction of identity. \nHis practice involves a constant search for imagery whether found\, staged or researched. Curiel spends a lot of time looking at art history as well as fashion magazines\, newspapers and various media for gestures in figures that convey a sense of transitioning. Curiel is also interested in figures in a place of self-awareness. Since his work often portrays scenes with open-ended narratives\, he tends to work on various paintings and drawings at once\, building a body of work that communicates with each other. His work reflects both the environmental surroundings as well as the socio-political temperatures that inform the human experience. \nCuriel’s works have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in galleries and museums in the U.S. and abroad: Fondation Cartier in Paris\, France\, The Bass Museum\, MOCA\, The Pérez Art Museum in Miami\, FL.\, The Americas Society\, El Museo Del Barrio\, and Lehmann Maupin Gallery\, NY. Collections include: Fondation Cartier\, Pérez Art Museum\, Dean Valentine\, Hort Family\, Jeanna Bullock\, and Jean-Pierre Lehmann to name a few. \nABOUT THE CURATORS:\nKalia Brooks\, PhD\, is the Director of Programs and Exhibitions at NXTHVN. She is responsible for the design and delivery of curatorial exhibitions\, public programs\, artist projects\, community engagement initiatives and the learning environment for the fellowship and apprenticeship programs. Her academic research covers art from the nineteenth century to the present\, with an emphasis on emergent technologies and African American\, trans-Atlantic and diasporic cultures of the Americas. Brooks Nelson holds a PhD in Aesthetics and Art Theory from the Institute for Doctoral Studies in the Visual Arts (IDSVA). She is co editor of Women and Migration: Responses in Art and History (Open Book Publishers\, Cambridge\, UK\, 2019). She has served as a consulting curator with the City of New York through the Department of Cultural Affairs and is currently an ex-officio trustee on the Board of the Museum of the City of New York. \nVictoria McCraven is the Programs Manager at NXTHVN.

SUMMARY:Un/Common Proximity
DESCRIPTION:James Cohan is proud to present Un/Common Proximity\, a group exhibition featuring the works of the 2020-2021 NXTHVN Studio Fellowship artists: Allana Clarke\, Alisa Sikelianos-Carter\, Daniel T. Gaitor-Lomack\, Esteban Ramón Pérez\, Jeffrey Meris\, Ilana Savdie\, and Vincent Valdez. The exhibition is on view at the gallery’s Tribeca location\, 48 Walker St\, from June 10 through August 13. Un/Common Proximity is curated by 2020-2021 NXTHVN Curatorial Fellow\, Claire Kim. \n  \nThe title of this exhibition\, Un/Common Proximity\, refers to the artists’ unprecedented experience of living and working in close proximity with one another during a year punctuated by a landmark U.S. election\, global pandemic\, and national reckoning of systemic racial injustice. It also points to the ways in which all seven studio Fellows continued their practices under NXTHVN’s roof\, creating work which purposefully and/or inadvertently responded to challenges that mark this tumultuous year. This exhibition highlights both individual discoveries as well as communal responses tackling themes of protection\, healing\, redemption\, and intuitive processing that permeated throughout the studio walls. \n  \nCo-Founded by Titus Kaphar and Jason Price\, NXTHVN is a new national arts model that empowers emerging artists and curators through education and access\, while also accelerating professional careers in the arts. NXTHVN’s Curatorial and Studio Fellowships are made possible\, in part\, by support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, Ford Foundation\, and the TOY family in memory of Yves (1988–2011).

SUMMARY:Pleading Freedom: An exhibition by Titus Kaphar and Reginald Dwayne Betts
DESCRIPTION:Pleading Freedom is an exhibition of iconic paintings by NXTHVN Founder Titus Kaphar and a selection of works from Redaction\, a series of works on paper created in collaboration with memoirist\, poet and attorney Reginald Dwayne Betts. A portion of the  sales of Redaction work will be generously donated by Kaphar and Betts to benefit  the ongoing work of NXTHVN. This exhibition is produced in partnership with Gagosian New York to complement their ongoing support of NXTHVN initiatives and programming. \n \nKaphar’s paintings Yet another fight for remembrance (study\, above left)\, 2014 and Analogous colors (above right)\, 2020\, will be exhibited together for the first time. Both have been featured in TIME magazine issues to accompany coverage of civil unrest in the face of systemic violence against black and brown people. Analogous colors most recently made national headlines on TIME’s June 2020 cover\, accompanied by Kaphar’s written work “I cannot sell you this painting.”  \nRedaction\, Kaphar and Betts’ first artistic collaboration\, advances the themes explored in these paintings by focusing on the ways that state and federal court systems exploit and erase the poor and incarcerated from public consciousness. Redacted works on paper feature poetry by Betts in combination with Kaphar’s etched portraits of incarcerated individuals\, and draw inspiration and source material from lawsuits filed by Alec Karakastanis of the Civil Rights Corps (CRC) on behalf of people incarcerated because of an inability to pay court fines and fees. Betts utilizes the legal strategy of redaction to craft verse out of legal documents\, capturing the complicated and pervasive effects of time spent incarcerated. These poems are then screen printed onto paper using the “Redaction” typeface\, imagined for this project in collaboration with designers Forest Young and Jeremy Mickel (MCKL Foundry)\, and made available for free online.   \nRedaction was first exhibited at MOMA PS1 in March 2019\, curated by Sarah Suzuki. In their coverage of the exhibition\, MOMA PS1 writes that “together\, Betts’ poems and Kaphar’s printed portraits blend the voices of poet and artist with those of the plaintiffs and prosecutors\, reclaiming these lost narratives and drawing attention to some of the many individuals whose lives have been impacted by mass incarceration.”Redaction is supported by Agnes Gund and the Art for Justice Fund. \n  \nPleading Freedom public hours:\nFrom Thursday\, August 13 – Saturday\, September 26\, Pleading Freedom will be open on Thursdays\, Fridays\, Saturdays\, and Sundays from 2-6pm\n*Visitors must sign in for contact tracing\n*No more than 7 people can be in the gallery at one time\n*Masks required

SUMMARY:Countermythologies
DESCRIPTION:Curated by the 2019 NXTHVN Curatorial Fellows\, Zalika Azim\, Riham Majeed\, and Ana Tuazon\, Countermythologies brings together works by Edgar Arceneaux\, Firelei Baez\, Jesse Chun\, Bethany Collins\, Sky Hopinka\, Jarrett Key\, Xaviera Simmons\, and Tavares Strachan. \nThough there is no singular\, universal experience of being American\, for many\, life in this country has been dually defined by the conditions of colonial violence and efforts to survive and thrive in spite of this. The works presented in Countermythologies negotiate between personal and collective histories to offer new ways of understanding American subjecthood and the plurality of identities that can be revealed through an expanded view of time and geographic space. By traversing complex relationships between language\, national identity\, and belonging\, Countermythologies seeks to reveal how past events and called-for futures encounter one another—and asks us to consider how these encounters might guide us in a political landscape of increasing xenophobia and resistance to change. \n\n
