Louder Than Words

Louder Than Words

Pop-up Art exhibition curated by Nadia Martinez

January 28 to February 17, 2017

Opening reception: Saturday, January 28, 2017

1:00 to 5:00 PM

121 Varick St. New York, NY 10013

Louder Than Words brings together an international team of artists from 12 countries who use different media to communicate their emotions, concerns, memories, and ideas about life, nature, hope, decay, politics, world events, and humanity. The pieces contained in this exhibition speak for themselves, louder than any words that could describe them.

In her quest to fully express herself, an Iranian artist's installation depicts how despite the circumstances, there is always hope. The triptych of an American artist shows us that no matter how much time passes, some news and memories are powerful enough to stay with us and inform the present by evolving into new forms. A Venezuelan artist in her installation reminds us that we are all pilgrims on this path that is life and that the spiritual pilgrimage can, even without words, allow the melody of the heart to move us.

These works help us rethink who we are and find new ways to contemplate and understand our unique contributions to the world.

Artists:

Touba Alipour, Kakeru Asai, Ghislaine Boreel, Dennis Bourke, Michelle Bratsafolis, Walter Brown, Kathryn Cameron, Monika Camillucci, Osmeli Delgado, Michele Rave Grassani, Micaela Kramer, Hazel Manheimer, Cecilia Nelson, Esther Rosa, Poramit Thantapalit, Sarah Tse, Teresa Waterman
