We are: Summer series

NurtureArt Gallery (new location), New York

This Summer NURTUREart opens its doors to artists, curators and neighboring galleries, lending them a copy of the gallery keys and allowing them to use the exhibition space (and its roof) for a series of weekly exhibitions, performances, workshops and events. Organized by Gallery Director Marco Antonini, this hybrid between art festival, short-term residency program and community jamboree is a honest statement of identification with the people that make our community. Get ready to be a part of it! We will keep you updated via bi-weekly email newsletters and frequent updates on our website and social media pages.

As first exhibition/event of our 10-week WE ARE: Summer series, NURTUREart presents a project by Ivan Argote.
Ivan Argote was Born in 1983 in Bogotá, and lives between Paris and New York. He has an MFA in Graphic Design by the National University of Colombia and an MFA in the Ecole Supériore des Beaux-Arts, Paris. Since 2007 he has participated in several exhibitions in different countries, mostly in Europe and Colombia. In 2011 he had a solo show at Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin (Paris). In 2010 he had a solo show at Vernon Gallery in Prague. He participated to the show Vista at Socrates Sculpture Park (New York), Tiere in der Kunst at Galerie im Traklhaus (Salzburg), at the International Festival of Arts in Beijing, the Madrid Abierto Biennale, Hyperactivity at CAN (Neuchatel), Danse Élargie at Theater of the City in Paris, among others.

“Our lives are constantly influenced by the forces of history, economy and politics. These forces saturate the environments we all live in. My works are questions about how we experience those forces, and what our position in regards to them is. I often create interventions and performances in the public space creating video pieces that explore the city as a space of political and relational conflict. I work in many media: sculpture, installation, painting, photography and internet-based projects, and also make site-specific projects that explore different relations between art, curators galleries and the public.”
