poster for Nina Carelli "Acid Bath"

This event has ended.

The title of Nina Carelli’s exhibition, Acid Bath, references the antiquarian etching process: zinc plate drawings are surrendered into a bath of nitric acid. It is there where a mysterious transformation occurs, where all aspects of predictability and limitation dissolve. Nina's imagery flows between different realms, some rooted in nature, and some culled from her own absurd inventions. Various motifs, including astronomy, nostalgia, and alchemy, simultaneously overlap and contradict one another. As these references combine and react with one another, a multitude of interpretations emerge from this eclectic array of works.

Nina received her BFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York City and is currently living and working in Brooklyn, NY. She has participated in group exhibitions at the Brooklyn Artists’ Gym, CultureFix Gallery, Greenpoint Gallery, Coo Gallery, Sacred Gallery and Causey Contemporary, all in New York, as well as at the Featherstone Center for the Arts in Martha’s Vineyard and The Monmouth Museum in New Jersey. Ms. Carelli is the editor of the self-published art magazine and collective, CREEPS, which has been printed annually in 2010 and 2011 as an editioned publication. Her work has been reviewed in the Visual Arts Magazine and Vice Magazine. In 2010 she was awarded the Shakesp eare and Co. Bookmaking Grant and in 2011 the Silver Cube from the Art Director’s Club.
