poster for Tori Purcell "(Ex)change"

This event has ended.

The NARS Foundation presents Tori Purcell's first solo exhibition in New York. As a non-profit arts organization committed to supporting emerging artists and curators, NARS provides an array of creative support services and professional development opportunities for underrepresented artists from around the world. Reflecting this mission, the annual Juried Solo Exhibition Program provides visual artists who have a strong body of work with the opportunity to present their work to a wider audience. The program aims to nurture creative inspiration and foster innovative cross-pollination of ideas by presenting the most thought provoking and visually compelling artwork being produced today. Tori Purcell is a conceptual artist and photographer originally from Virginia. We are very excited to be able to present her sculpture and photographic series, most of which have not been shown in New York before. In this exhibition, Purcell examines issues of migration, cultural displacement and the socio-political constructs that form / transform identity and links them to a globalized economic system. She received her Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Vanderbilt University and a Master of Fine Arts from Savannah College of Art and Design. She is currently Acting Assistant Chair in the Photography Dept. at Pratt Institute and Adjunct Professor of Photography at Queensborough Community College.
