Over the last six months, Project Space curator Marella Consolini has made over 100 studio visits to artists in multiple states, as well as spent time at the country’s major art fairs. While the primary focus of the Project Space is to highlight under-recognized mid-career artists, Consolini has spent time with many younger artists as well as those with well-established careers who don’t currently have gallery representation in New York.

“The caliber of work I have seen has been extremely impressive,” says Consolini. “But I can’t possibly exhibit all the artists whose work I feel strongly about. ‘Summer’ represents a small, eclectic group culled from many months of visits. The work in this show is dynamic, beautiful, thought-provoking and will be fresh to the gallery’s viewers.” Photography, painting, drawing, sculpture and collage are represented.

Mari Andrews, a sculptor from San Francisco, works with objects found in nature which she has been collecting for years. These objects are archived in her studio, waiting to come out of their jars or folios to be assembled in one of the large wall installations for which she is known.

Sarah Bridgland is a young British sculptor making her New York debut. Bridgland makes tiny, explosive sculptures of cutout paper from printed media, often using vintage paper stationary supply boxes as a base. For more information about the artist: Sarah Bridgland

Rebecca Chamberlain, a Brooklyn-based artist, makes haunting drawings of Modernist interiors taken from vintage magazines. Her primary medium is ballpoint pen ink. For more information about the artist: rebecca-chamberlain.com

Christopher Dawson is a photographer based in Manhattan who travels widely, shooting the often surreal frenzy behind the scenes at some of our country’s most outrageous media events. For more information about the artist: christopherdawson.net

India Evans is a born-and-bred New Yorker who uses, among other things, vintage erotic photographs found at a flea market in Italy as a base for her collages. Adding her own words, drawing and painting, she creates dreamy new fantasies from (someone else’s) old ones.

Cyrilla Mozenter is a sculptor who lives in New York. Mozenter’s elegant, abstract work is made of industrial wool felt, stitched together with delicate silk thread, the vestiges of which are very evident as part of the work. In her new warm snow series, some of the pieces hang banner-like on the wall. For more information about the artist: cyrillamozenter.com

Stewart Paley, a New Yorker who has lived in Canada for several decades, paints and collages on canvas. Paley creates a landscape of disparate images that come together as one fascinating fabric, open to the viewer’s very personal interpretation.
