“(Contained): chaNorth Residency” Exhibition

chashama Window Space (266 W 37th St. )

This event has ended.

chaNorth, chashama’s Upstate New York Artist Residency, presents the group exhibition titled (Contained), featuring the work of chaNorth 2016 residents, alumni and visiting artists. Through the use of painting, sculpture, found objects and performance, (Contained) examines the tensions that arise from internal and external limitations. The works, shown in different mediums, point to the challenges the city poses to the artists’ creative processes. (Contained) is on view at one of chashama’s presentations spaces, 266 West 37th St. 24/7 through the storefront window.

Artists address the concept of containment in dialogue with time, space, and identity. The exhibition includes the work the artists created in the focused, sheltered environment of the chaNorth Residency in the Hudson Valley.

The exhibition features work by chaNorth2016 residents, alumni and visiting artists, including Meredith Walker, Sophie Bortolussi, Gian Luigi Braggio, Donna Cleary, Peter Fulop, Timothy Lee, Bill Pagano, Margaret Lee, Lanelle Pintal, Lauren Smith, Brigitta Varadi, and Katya Grokhovsky.
chaNorth is chashama’s New York State artist residency aimed at providing a nourishing, focused environment for emerging artists and writers as they continue their committed practices. The program offers an opportunity for 5-6 emerging artists to remove themselves from the typical demands of daily life and immerse themselves in a creative live/work space for four weeks. chaNorth is located on five acres of sprawling meadow, adjacent to hundreds of acres of undeveloped woods in the scenic Hudson Valley.
