About
Welcome to State of Wonder NYC : a rotating, free-form group show which encourages the viewer to gradually consider modern life from a variety of perspectives.
State of Wonder NYC is a rotating, free-form group show split up into ten editions which encourage the viewer to gradually consider modern life from a variety of perspectives. The selection of artists for this series leans young, and prioritizes emerging and outsider artists. Each artist is from New York City, all telling their story about life in the world’s most famous metropolitan area in the 2020s. By focusing on the younger generation and native New Yorkers, these exhibitions will give the generation of artists artists raised by the Internet a place to showcase their work and document their own notions of home in the present period of gentrification and displacement.
The curatorial presentation for each show is intentionally traditional, despite the format for each event being loose and amorphous. Artists and viewers will be treated to evening pop-ups featuring live music, vendors, an open bar, and of course, coveted wall space. This exhibition series is a celebration of art in the city that encourages the public to pop-in for a viewing and stay for the event, partaking in the ephemeral assemblage of the evening.
At a time when so many people around the world find themselves asking, “What’s next?”, this exhibition mulls on the ideas of uncertainty and curiosity in a series of events which reject tradition. The curators hope viewers will find solace in these confrontations with the present moment through the fresh eyes of the new generation. Contrast is what keeps cities like New York fascinating – the themes in this exhibition are well-explored, but are presented here by a young crowd in a punchy pop-up series. We proudly present a multitude of artists working across a wide range of media, artists representing a new avant-garde attempting to answer long-standing questions with twenty-first century ideas.
