INCIDENTAL AMALGAMATION

The likely (assumed) result of combining (uniting)

Carrie Able Gallery presents a group exhibition of new works from the Early Summer 2021 AIR Program. Highlighting seven emerging artists based in New York City, this exhibition considers the result of creativity and collaboration being developed, and expanded upon, over the last 2 months.

Working across media, each artist in some way overlaps and blends seemingly disparate theories or references to produce a realized new work. Responding to experience, works consider how traditional methods of mark-making, video collage, 2D collage, painting, sculpture, and textile design can expand to fit into a contemporary environment.

2D prints read as 3D spaces, the surface of the canvas expands beyond the assumed dimensions. Folk Art symbolism suggests digital renderings, oil paintings become NFTs, sculptures are informed by investigation and mythology, new urban landscapes are built from the collaged source material.

Accompanying all of this is a new sense of community. A rebirth back into creative spaces, with intentional and actionable results. INCIDENTAL AMALGAMATION highlights the result and/or effect of traditional media being reworked, reimagined, and redistributed in a better state of harmony.
