NURTUREart OPENS GALLERY & EMERGING CURATORS RESOURCE CENTER IN WILLIAMSBURG

George J. Robinson, founder and Executive Director, is proud to announce that NURTUREart has opened the NURTUREart Gallery and Emerging Curator Resource Center and a branch office at 475 Keap Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Responding to the awareness that a burgeoning gallery district was coming to life in the artistic neighborhood of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Robinson said "We are thrilled to be opening the NURTUREart Gallery and Emerging Curators Resource Center in an area teeming with creative artists, budding curators, and an audience both receptive to, and in need of community space in which to collaborate on projects and present the fruit of artistic endeavor."

Proposals from independent emerging curators are encouraged and reviewed for exhibitions in the NURTUREart Gallery or host venues and the New York Metropolitan area. Any career-track fine artist over the age of 18 and not exclusively represented by a gallery may make a free portfolio submission to the Artists Registry. Details are posted at www.nurtureart.org

Grand Opening Reception to be held Friday Sept. 19, 2003

ID_ENTITY
curated by David Gibson

Inaugural Exhibition "ID_ENTITY"
A Grand Opening Reception will be held at the gallery on Friday September 19, 2003 from 6 to 9 p.m. to coincide with the "Williamsburg Third Fridays" celebrations. The inaugural exhibition "ID_ENTITY" (curated by David Gibson) presents a group of artists whose subject is our psychological relationship with the body, with dynamics of desire, and with those physical and cerebral elements which aid us in focusing psychologically subversive energies. These elements are central to, though often lately located the formulation of personality, in particular the motivation behind idiosyncratic and creative impulses.

All it takes is a minute shift in perspective-in the pronounced character of the term Identity itself--to reveal how necessary the element of the "Id" is to our nature. Though it is by its very origin in Psychoanalysis a synthetic intellectual construction, this term has become so accepted into common sense that any exploration of the cultural significance of independent intuitive acts should at least relate if not pay homage to it. Andre Breton desired psychoanalysis to aid him in accomplishing the aim of "the expulsion of man from himself (Nadja, 24)". At this later date, we are inextricably bound to the vision of ourselves which the received knowledge of Psychoanalysis has wrought, and it is for us to create what results from it so that its subsequent cultural significance may replace the mystery of our origin.

Artists represented are Sandra Bermudez, Amy Chaiklin, Chrissy Conant, Veronica Cross, Carla Gannis, Tina La Porta, Joan Linder, Norma Markley, Leemour Pelli, Catya Plate, Gae Savannah, Diana Shpungin & Nicole Engelmann, Maria Spector, Ginna Triplett, Marina Tsesarskaya and Deborah Wasserman.

The Gallery is open for viewing by the public Saturdays and Sundays from 1PM to 6PM and by appointment.
The exhibition will be on view through November 16th.
