Prospect Park, The Connective Project

I am a contributing artist in the Connective project, a collaborative public art project to celebrate Prospect Park’s 150 Anniversary.

The Connective Project “will transform Prospect Park’s Rose Garden into an immersive, engaging and ever-growing field of pinwheels.” The Park worked with AREA4 and Suchi Reddy, who “was very much influenced by the beauty and vision of Prospect Park’s designers Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, who in 1867 transformed 585 acres of rural terrain into the urban retreat that is Brooklyn’s Backyard.”

On view July 7-17, 2017

Group Show : ‘Neither Here Nor There’ 
Curated by Nicolas Touron & Fanny Allié

Radiator Arts

10-61 Jackson Ave, LIC, New York 11106
Nov 18^th, 2016 – Feb 3^th, 2017
Opening reception Friday Nov 18^th, 6-9pm

Featuring works by: Anne Mourier, Fanny Allié, Jeanne verdoux, Julien Gardair, Marilia Destot, Nicolas Touron, Shani Ha, Simon courchel

The exhibition Neither Here Nor There presents the works of eight artists who all share the same birthplace – France and who voluntarily migrated several years ago to New York City.
Not quite from one side or the other anymore, a nonnative constantly oscillates between two realities, fully belonging to none. Through mixed media, sculpture, photography and painting, the artists of Neither Here Nor There examine this state of being slightly “out of tune” and how their experience may have impacted their work over the years. The exhibit also aims to highlight a common thread between all the works – a feeling of detachment of the human figure from its urban environment, within a context of personal narration and a touch of absurdity. The sense of isolation and fragmentation that can emanate from the works is nonetheless often counterbalanced with whimsicality and humor.

Jeanne Verdoux’s prints show the human figure deprived from any context but in constant motion, sometimes in the verge of falling, where ground and air merge into one dimension.
