Join us Saturday, August 26 from 4–6 PM for an Artist Talk featuring the artists from Transparent Boundaries moderated by artist, NYC Crit Club co-founder and executive director, and founder of The Canopy Program, Catherine Haggarty. For the twelve participating artists, the group exhibition Transparent Boundaries is about finding, testing, and ultimately transforming the barriers that lay between them and the worlds they envision. The event will delve into each artist’s practice and interpretation of the exhibition theme, concluding with audience Q&A.
This exhibition emerged from friendships forged in the NYC Crit Club community. In fact, each of the participating artists are current mentees in the inaugural year of NYC Crit Club’s Canopy Program. The program brought together the twelve artists in the exhibition where they push each other’s work, goals, and build an intimate community together.
The event is hosted at Compère Collective, 351 Van Brunt Street, Brooklyn and is open to the public.
Artists: Ana Wieder-Blank, Barbara Owen, Cecil Howell, Jebediah Long, Janelle Junn, Jessica Corujo, Kaira Villanueva, Natalie Ortiz, Patrick Bower, Raymond Hwang, Wendi Men, and Zoë Elena Moldenhauer.
