Memento Mori: Time, Clarity and the Pursuit of Purpose

April 3, 2025 – April 26, 2025

As we turn the corner on the somnambulance of winter, and the awakening of spring glimpses closer, the concept of “Memento Mori” comes into high relief. Though its direct Latin translation, “remember that you will die”, implies a moribund focus on the inevitability of death, “Memento mori” concurrently insists on an examination of the fleeting condition that precedes said end: an invigorated and courageous life.

TRANSCENDER

NYAE is excited to announce the continuation of the artists’ critique group that originally ran in Bushwick and reprised at NYAE in fall 2023. Sessions will be presented in person at Equity Gallery, 245 Broome St. NYC. Sherilyn Neidhardt will be returning as the key host and point person for the series. The critique format will adhere to previous models whereby the artist narrates a 10-image, nine minute, PowerPoint presentation of their work to a live audience followed by a five minute audience Q&A. All media are welcome so long as works are clearly represented in still images.

How to apply

Interested participants need to send an email with a single paragraph artist statement and five – seven images to sharilyn.neidhardt@gmail.com with the subject line “transcender application”

III: Abstraction, Utopia, and The Right to Roam

A genuine and organic appearance of a collective with shared aspirations is rare and never random. In this instance, no three artists could have come from more divergent backgrounds and yet their work converses on an intimate and formalist level with adjoining narratives and motives to be explored fore with.
