SELECTION COMMITTEE

The selection committee for this year’s curatorial submissions is composed of Jessica Gallucci, Independent Curator, Denise Treizman, Visual Artist, Melissa F. Clarke, Visual Artist, Aleksandra Kolanko, Visual Artist, Assistant Director of REVERSE, and Andrea Wolf, Visual Artist, Founder and Director of REVERSE.

Jessica Gallucci, Independent Curator
Jessica Gallucci is an independent curator based in New York City. She is a May 2014 graduate of New York University’s M.A. program in visual arts administration, prior to which she held editorial positions at The Economist, Intelligent Life, and Vogue. In 2010 she became co-director of A.D. Projects, a curatorial collaborative dedicated to presenting the work of emerging contemporary artists in alternative spaces in New York City. She was a participant and symposium presenter in Independent Curators International’s Fall 2014 intensive seminar, “Curating Now.” She holds a B.A. in English from Georgetown University, and is currently on staff at Thea Westreich Art Advisory Services.

Denise Treizman, Visual Artist
Denise Treizman is an artist working mostly with found objects and materials. Her work explores ideas of informality, improvisation and new forms of sculptural assemblage. Denise has an MFA in Fine Arts (SVA, 2013). She has been a fellow resident at Vermont Studio Center, at the Brooklyn Art Space and Berlin Collective’s resident at APT Institute.

Melissa F. Clarke, Visual Artist
Melissa F. Clarke is a New York based interdisciplinary artist whose work employs data and generative self-programmed compositional environments. Clarke often works across mediums as a way to look at hybridizations of wilderness and technological spaces—towards considerations of nature at the center of human experience, myth, science, and information collection. Melissa received her master’s degree from New York University’s Interactive Telecommunications Program and was a recent artist in residence at the Simons Center for Geometrty and Physics.

Leksi Kolanko, Visual Artist, Assistant Director REVERSE
Leksi is a Brooklyn-based visual artist and designer. She received her BA from Vassar College in 2012 and is currently enrolled in Pratt Institute’s MID program. Working at the intersection of media, Leksi combines performance and visual aesthetics to explore relationships, discomfort, action and inaction, deception, and the design of purposefully anti-functional consumer objects.

Andrea Wolf, Visual Artist, Director REVERSE
Andrea Wolf is an artist interested in the subjects of time, memory, image, and the devices of remembrance that we produce. She has an MFA in Documentary Filmmaking (UAB, 2005), an MFA in Digital Arts (UPF, 2006), and an MPA in Interactive Telecommunications (NYU, 2011). Andrea has exhibited widely in New York City and internationally. Andrea became the director of REVERSE in 2012, and since then she has curated exhibitions and talks at REVERSE, as well as at the Interactive Art Fair in Miami.

THE RESIDENCY

REVERSE is pleased to announce a new artist residency program for the summer of 2013. REVERSE SUMMER LAB is designed to allow artists the time, resources and community support to create new and innovative work in a collaborative and discursive atmosphere. Artists will have the opportunity to exhibit their work in the REVERSE gallery space during or directly following their residency term.

Two resident artists will have 24/7 access to a large, shared studio space. Please note that this program does not include housing – artists need to have their own local accommodation. Artists are responsible for bringing their own materials; no toxic materials are allowed in the space.

REVERSE SUMMER LAB will run from JULY 8th to AUGUST 16th.

THE SPACE

REVERSE is a multidisciplinary workspace and art gallery that serves as a platform for new and experimental forms of expression. Established in 2012, REVERSE aims to support the production and presentation of new work by emerging and mid-career artists through a program of exhibitions, workshops, talks and events that encourages public dialogue and the active exchange of ideas across all fields.  Run by artists, the mission of REVERSE is to promote innovate and boundary-breaking ideas that foster the growth of public engagement with the arts as well as the REVERSE artist community.

We are proud to host the second season of The Impossible Project at Reverse Space.

The Impossible Project is an open call for creative minds, to present and discuss their projects or proposals in a casual open talk form.

Art practices are not only related to the art-work made at the studio; artists create projects that bring their practice into many different settings than the formal exhibition space.

These projects, brainchild of creative minds, usually go beyond reality and making capabilities. At this point the project becomes the “art-work”.

We believe that a public presentation of the project can
be an influential part of the creative process and act as an opportunity for these ideas to grow. For this reason, these gatherings of creative minds will be benefitial for all.

Selected submissions will be presented at Reverse Space on Wednesday February 13, 20 and 27 at 7:30 pm.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

Submit a short description and images of the project. Images should be no bigger than 1mb.

In one paragraph please answer: Why is it important for you to share this project?

Link to website or blog with samples of your recent work.

CV or Bio.

Include technical specs for your presentation.

Reverse Space will select 1 artist for each session.

Submit all materials to info@reversespace.org
Deadline: January 30th
Selected projects will be notify by February 4th

Note: Artists are encouraged to promote the event. Invite your friends, let’s build community !!!
