NLE Lab: The Way Out Is Through

2785 Frederick Douglass Boulevard, New York 10039



Description

Curated by NLE Lab Fall 2014 participants: Leticia Gutierrez, Ladi’Sasha Jones, Kirstin Kapustik, Zena Koo, Kenneth Paranada, and Maurizzio Hector Pineda.

The Way Out Is Through is a multidisciplinary exhibition that addresses the shifting landscape of urban environments. Through video, interactive media, installation, performance, and sculpture by participating artists—Peggy Buth, Raquel Cepeda, Free Breakfast Program, Paloma McGregor, Akeema-Zane, Nicko Nogués, Kyla Marshell, Mark Salvatus, and Phan V.,—the exhibition asks the relationship is between home and communities in flux. The works explore narratives of belonging, public space, and nostalgia, challenging what it means to belong to a community and our connectedness to shared memories of a neighborhood. In the exhibition title, “the way out is through” is a reflection of our relationship to the transient nature of the urban city and how we respond to the tensions between our home interiors, exteriors of public space, and the act of letting go.
