Residency Unlimited is a Brooklyn-based nonprofit that develops carefully-customized residencies designed to support artists as they create new works and advance their careers
This exhibition features artworks by three emerging women practitioners affiliated with Residency Unlimited. All are based in New York, and their works reflect the richness and variety of artistic practice in the City.
Melissa Calderón’s work explores social and political landscapes. Her embroidered wood panels use colored yarn to explore social and political landscapes—here, the impact of climate change in the Arctic and on rivers that flow through contested areas of the world.
Yana Dimitrova’s large-scale paintings question perceptions of space, often using humor to critique everyday understandings and highlight a wide range of issues, including immigration and social transformation.
Jen Mazza’s recent paintings translate between the digital/machine-made and the artist-made. She engages with the idea that a painting is a machine: both object and system, and as such, is at once receptive and productive. Paintings are machines that make meaning.
The exhibition is open through April 27th, Monday through Friday,
10 a.m. and 3 p.m. by appointment.
