“You Are So Articulate” Last year, every time “You Are So Articulate” Last year, every time some version of the backhanded compliment, you are so articulate was expressed to me, I put that conversation to this weaving. Measuring at 6’x3’ that is a lot of unproductive conversation that presumes black people are not capable of intellectual discourse. This is what implicit bias looks like... . . . #fiberartnow #fiberartists #textiles #makersgoingtomake #makersmovememt #weaveweird #blackartist #tapestry #weaving #softsculpture #microagressions #contemporarycraft #implicitbias #blackfiberartist #art4antiracism

New York - Ndr Nw Mgmt is pleased to present Hello New York - Ndr Nw Mgmt is pleased to present Hello It’s Me, featuring new work by emerging artists Alice Teeple, Anthony Fatato, Arthur Kwon Lee, Future Ancient, Jameel Newkirk, Jane Dorsey, John Romano, Jordana Pontes, Katherine Kane, Katie Mangurian, Kerry Karrier, Lacy Barry, Leaf, Miyuki Asakawa, Spirit, Stephen Frank, Theda Sandiford and Undine Bandelin. The multidisciplinary exhibition includes drawing, painting, photography, sculpture and video and will be the first show for a number of the artists included in the show.  The exhibition title is a cross between the literal translation of itself, introducing many of the artists to the art world and a metaphorical “Hello” from our city of New York as she returns to some semblance of normalcy in this month of July. Hello It’s Me celebrates our grand city of New York being reborn; the city we once knew is gone, but out of the ashes of the pandemic a new, New York City is emerging, with new faces and spaces, each with a new lease on life (no pun intended). This will be the first iteration of Ndr Nw Mgmt’s annual summer show. We look forward to you joining us. Hello It’s Me will run at Ed. Varie from 20 July through 07 August, 2021. The opening reception will be held on Tuesday, 20 July from 6-9pm at Ed. Varie, 184 East 7th Street, New York, NY 10009. To RSVP for the opening reception and learn more about the exhibition and each artist’s work, please email ndr_nw_mgmt@projektnyc.com.
