Press Release

 

Co-curated by DK Johnston and Heidi Elbers, Director of Exhibitions at the Academy, the exhibition features work from seven alumni of the New York Academy of Art. The exhibit will be on view to the public at The Quin, located at the intersection of 57th Street and Sixth Avenue in Manhattan through April 30, 2018.

The Quin has long demonstrated its dedication to the arts through its Quin Arts program, which has brought dynamic artists to new audiences for the past five years. The Quin and the New York Academy of Art also share an extended history of collaboration. Most notably, they partnered to feature Blek le Rat, the “father of stencil graffiti,” as an artist-in-residence at the Quin in 2014. During his residency, the artist created a series of 25 unique monotypes with lithography at the New York Academy of Art, which were then featured at the Quin as part of the exhibition, “Blek le Rat: Escaping Paris.”

The exhibition will include works from Tamalin Baumgarten (MFA 2015), Shauna Finn (MFA 2005), Alexis Hilliard (MFA 2014), Gianna Putrino (MFA 2017), James Razko (MFA 2015), Nicolas V. Sanchez (MFA 2013, Fellow 2014), and Gabriel Zea (MFA 2015).
