"Precarious Exchange" at the Hunterdon Museum of Art

Installation shots from my exhibition at the Hunterdon Museum of Art.  June 10-September 9, 2012

 

except from a review by Ralph Bellantoni For the Daily Record:

“Precarious Exchange’’ features Nancy Cohen’s growing, flowing, sprawling sculptures made from glass combined with resin, wax, metal and other materials. She wields her art as an investigative tool for penetrating into the principles of nature and the conflicts at the heart of the human condition.
Cohen’s work radiates along several tangents. “Falling is Flying II’’ improvises on the theme of flowing water, while her “P(n,k) (combinatorics)’’ installation associates molecular structures with personal memories and perceptions. In the latter, an abundance of fossilized atomic shapes drift and gather across the gallery.
Cohen manipulates the interplay between surface and structure, fragility and mass, form and intent. But no matter how deep she delves into formal concerns and environmental nuances, the Jersey City artist never strays far from the personal and intimate.

NANCY COHEN: BY FEEL opens May 18th

NANCY COHEN: BY FEEL May 18 - June 23, 2012 Reception: Thursday, May 24 from 6pm to 8pm Conversation with the artist & critic and curator, Jill Conner: Saturday, June 9th from 4pm to 6pm   Image: Geography of Desire, 2011, Glass, wire, rubber, cement, resin, 6" x 22" x 10"   NEW YORK, NY, MAY 2012 - ACCOLA GRIEFEN GALLERY is pleased to present Nancy Cohen: By Feel. The exhibition will open on Friday May 18 and continue through June 23, 2012 with a reception on Thursday May 24 from 6pm to 8pm. A conversation between Cohen and art critic and curator, Jill Conner, will be held on Saturday June 9th from 4pm to 6pm. Nancy Cohen scavenges, accumulates and reconfigures the discarded detritus of daily life: tiny perfume bottles, a patterned plate, a blue mesh bag. Cohen also fabricates forms which when combined with her found objects shape the visual vocabulary of the sculptures, large-scale installations and experimental paper-based works that make up this exhibition.   Cohen’s work addresses the extreme balancing act that contemporary life requires. Human and environmental frailties are set against the power of the natural world - to alter, threaten, destroy or simply decay. For her installation, P (n,k) Combinatorics,Cohen has covered the gallery walls with cast glass and cement forms that represent enlarged cellular structures but also resemble unearthly botanical life. From scooters drenched in pools of blue and black to floating glass forms that capture the light of water and the movement of waves, all of Cohen’s work suspends time and mark moments of precarious exchange. Nancy Cohen has a BFA from Rochester Institute of Technology and an MFA from Columbia University. Recent large-scale projects have included installations in Karmiel, Israel, the CODA Museum in Holland, one based on the Hudson River for the Katonah Museum of Art in NY and a collaboration with marine biologists and environmentalists based on the Mullica River for the Noyes Museum of Art in Oceanville, NJ. Cohen has been awarded a Pollack Krasner grant and Fellowships in Sculpture and Works on Paper from the NJ State Council on the Arts. Her work can be found in the permanent collections of the NJ State Museum, Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Museum, Montclair Art Museum, & Yale University Art Museum among many others. Recent exhibitions have included “Permeable Matter” a solo exhibition at Kean University in Union, NJ and “Green: The Color & the Cause,” at the Textile Museum in Washington D.C. Cohen was born in Queens, NY and lives in Jersey City, NJ. A catalog for the exhibition with an essay by Jill Conner is available. ACCOLA GRIEFEN GALLERY is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 AM to 6 PM. For more information contact Kat Griefen at info@accolagriefen.com or call 646-532-3488.
