Chance Ecologies Exhibit
December 17, 2015 through January 21, 2016
Radiator Gallery
10-61 Jackson Avenue
Hunters Point, Queens
For the past seven months, Chance Ecologies has brought together a group of artists to explore the wilderness of Hunter's Point South, Queens.
The post industrial site stood in disuse for 35 years, allowing for a complex, contemporary ecology to develop.
Over the course of the summer 2015, Chance Ecologies organized a series of art events, workshops and happenings that invited the public to experience the site prior to being completely leveled in October 2015, as part of the Hunters Point South housing development project.
Please join Chance Ecologies to view a diverse collection of new pieces by 17 different artists, which will include video, photo, sound and sculpture installations, zines, books, walks, talks and more, looking at this unique part of New York City's waterfront.
Curated by: Catherine Grau, Nathan Kensinger, Stephen Zacks

Emerging Artist Fellowship Exhibition
Daily through March 13, 2016
Socrates Sculpture Park
Vernon Blvd & Broadway
Ravenswood, Queens
Fifteen years ago Socrates Sculpture Park inaugurated the Emerging Artist Fellowship (EAF) Exhibition and launched what would become an annual exhibition of “artists to watch.”
This year’s Emerging Artist Fellows were selected through a highly competitive process that attracted over 350 applications, a record number for the program.
The 2015 Emerging Artist Fellows are: Kenseth Armstead, Charlotte Becket & Roger Sayre, José Carlos Casado, Torkwase Dyson, Carla Edwards, Davey Hawkins, Lena Henke, David Horvitz, Charlotte Hyzy, Melanie McLain, Kirsten Nelson, Freya Powell, Leah Raintree, Aaron Suggs, and Noa Younse.
As the culmination of a sought-after fellowship program, the EAF Exhibition is distinct in its commitment to emphasize individual artist projects. Rather than present an overarching theme, the exhibition highlights the singularity of each artist’s vision and subject matter, while providing critical consideration on diverse subjects, processes, and the specificities of site.
