NXTHVN Cohort 05 Studio Fellow Adrian Armstrong shares insights about his creative practice, subject matter, and approach towards researching Black culture. Adrian's work is on view alongside Cohort 05 in "Double Down", NXTHVN's year end exhibition located at "The Campus", in upstate New York. Details about the exhibition below.
About The Exhibition:
Continuing a tradition of collaborating with New York-area galleries on a culminating exhibition for our fellowship year, James Cohan and The Campus are partnering with NXTHVN to present Cohort 05's annual exhibition. The exhibition features the work of Studio Fellows Adrian Armstrong, Alexandria Couch, Eric Hart Jr., Fidelis Joseph, Jamaal Peterman, Eugene Macki and Alex Puz and is organized by Curatorial Fellows Marquita Flowers and Clare Patrick.
Double Down joins presentations from Bortolami, James Cohan, kaufmann repetto, Anton Kern, Andrew Kreps and kurimanzutto for the inaugural exhibition at the galleries’ new shared upstate space, The Campus. The Campus exhibition connects new and historical works by more than 80 artists. Embracing a collaborative model, the galleries have turned an abandoned former school building into a platform for dynamic cultural exchange. Vacant since the '90s, the 78,000-square-foot building of the Ockawamick School, built in 1951 and largely unrenovated, has been ripe for reanimation. Colorfully painted classrooms, mid-century architectural details, and generous natural lighting create a compelling context for artists to engage with the space, the original purpose of the structure, and one another.
