Working primarily with pigmented plastic, sculptor Jesse Greenberg pushes the material beyond its perceived limits. Through regimented experimentation and alchemical conjurings, he has developed a variety of objects via an evolution of accidents. These material experiments create a vocabulary which gives form to abstract ideas about connectivity, surveillance, and prosthetic technologies. Greenberg has had solo and two-person exhibitions at Loyal Gallery, Malmo, Sweden; White Flag Projects, St. Louis, MS; Kansas, New York, NY and Derek Eller Gallery, New York NY. His work has also been included in Control Lapse, Josh Lilley Gallery, London; Trouble Everyday, Vogt Gallery, New York; Queens International: Three Points Make a Triangle, Queens Museum of Art, New York; I Know This But You Feel Different, Marc Jancou, New York. Greenberg has recently been awarded the Shandanken residency at Storm King Art Center, New Windsor, NY.

Sculptor David Shaw combines manmade materials with found natural objects, most often tree branches without bark, into works that explore the indistinct boundaries between nature, technology, and consciousness. His recent foray into working with glass, facilitated by a grant from the Nancy Graves Foundation, culminated in his exhibition, “Eat Out” at Feature Inc., Oct.17—Nov.17, 2013. Shaw was born in Rochester, New York, in 1965, and received his BA in Fine Arts from Colgate University in 1987. He is represented by Feature Inc. in New York and Galleria Astuni in Bologna, Italy.

In 2015, he received the Peter S. Reed Foundation award. Shaw lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.

Stacy Fisher makes abstract sculptures that are figurative and awkward; bulky and deflated. Suggesting tools, torsos, and other familiar things, her works are matter of fact yet strange. She is interested in gesture and marking the space where color and form intersect. Fisher studied sculpture at The Cleveland Institute of Art and The Ohio State University. She has received fellowships from the Edward F. Albee Foundation, the Vermont Studio Center, and the Chautauqua School of Art. Her work has been shown recently at Mass Gallery in Austin, Left Field in San Luis Obispo, and Tiger Strikes Asteroid in Brooklyn NY. Other venues in New York City include Cleopatra’s, Regina Rex, Thierry Goldberg, and Mixed Greens. She is currently a participant in Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s Process Space program.

He has shown his work widely including the Whitney Museum in the 1995 Biennial and again in “Bitstreams” in 2001, the MARTa Museum in Germany, Art Omi, The Pera Museum in Istanbul, The Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, and in private galleries such as 303 , Bitforms, Basilico Fine Art, Pablo’s Birthday, Favorite Goods and elsewhere. His works are in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Kansas City, and numerous private collections. Rees has received grants from Creative Capital, the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts.

He also won a Deutscher Akademischer Austaushdienst for undergraduate study at the Kunstakademie in Dusseldorf, Germany, with Joseph Beuys. Rees is currently professor of sculpture and digital media at William Paterson University, and Director of the Center for New Art there.

Emily Noelle Lambert’s sculptures are created from found materials and scavenged objects that she piles together in totem like forms giving new life or context to discarded items. She predominately works with wood as the life is embedded in the very nature of the material. Also a painter, Lambert received her MFA from Hunter College and her BA in Visual Art from Antioch College. She has shown nationally and internationally. Solo exhibitions include Denny Gallery (NY), Lu Magnus (NY) and Priska Juschka (NY), Thomas Robertello in Chicago, and IMART in South Korea. Group exhibitions include the Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota, FL; The University of Michigan, Kalamazoo; The Torrance Art Museum, CA; Weekend Space, LA; and RH+Gallery, Istanbul.

She is an adjunct professor at Parsons the New School for Design and adjunct faculty at Fordham University. She lives and works in New York City.

Rachel Mica Weiss is a sculptor and installation artist interested in tension, control, and the relationship between weaving and architecture. Her sculptures are composed of elements that balance uneasily, vie for dominance, or are hopelessly intertwined.

Solo exhibitions include Countermeasures at Montserrat College of Art, MA (2015), In Place at Fridman Gallery, NY (2014) and Engulfing the Elusory at the San Francisco Arts Commission (2013).
