P2P Review
Liinu Grönlund, 'It Could Have Been', 2017. Still from video
Saturday, November 11 7 PM @ Present Company, Bushwick
In collaboration with Finnish Cultural Institute in New York and Residency Unlimited
We are excited to invite you to the inaugural session of P2P Review, a new collaborative event series featuring artists from different residency programs in New York. Hosted at rotating venues, the quarterly events will be co-curated by a changing roster of artist residency program coordinators based in New York.
The first P2P Review, taking place on Saturday, November 11 at 7.00 PM at Present Company in Bushwick, is a screening that showcases video works by six artists from the residency programs of the Finnish Cultural Institute in New York, NARS Foundation and Residency Unlimited. The featured artists are Liinu Grönlund (FCINY), Raakel Kuukka (FCINY), Ololade Adeniyi (NARS), Rachel Garber Cole (NARS), Andras Blazsek (RU), and Eva Davidova (RU).
Drinks will be offered, as well as free admission to the event.
The idea of these informal gatherings grew out of the desire by our international resident artists who work with time based media to get to know the films and videos of their peers and to showcase their own.
More information about the artists and the screening program will be posted on the event page throughout the week.
Welcome!

In the same year John was lauded by the online forum for arts and culture Hyperallergic magazine for his solo exhibition, Disintegrator, at Studio 10 in Bushwick, Brooklyn.

Open Call - NARS Residency
Deadline: September 30, 2017
NARS is now accepting applications for the International Residency Program from international and US based artists. The NARS residency supports emerging and mid-career artists and curators working across all disciplines through three and six-month residencies, creating a space for artistic dialogue and international cultural exchange for an extended period of time.
NARS offers 24/7 access to furnished, private or semi-private studio spaces (280-325 sq ft) in our diverse artist community in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. As a studio based residency, the focus is on the artistic process and the experimentation that results from working alongside other artists, within New York's cultural and sociopolitical context.
Artists meet with 4-6 studio visitors each month, gaining invaluable feedback and expanding their network of artists and professionals in NY and internationally. Residents are provided with administrative, curatorial, and professional support to explore and expand the scope of their artistic practice through research, dialogue, and the production of new projects.
Public presentation opportunities include a curated exhibition in the NARS gallery, bi-annual Open Studios, and the Entree/Encore program, through which artists share research and work through artist talks, discussions, screenings, workshops, and performances. The NARS Gallery hosts exhibitions year-round.

At NARS, residents also have the advantage of working alongside 60 emerging and established NYC based artists in our studio facilities, who retain space year round. The program and facilities are designed to form a community, foster the expansion and exchange of artistic and cultural practices, and provide artists with exposure to New York and its art scene.
