Noga Cohen returns to the 2026 Arts Center Residency as an On-Site Assistant.
As a resident in 2025, she explored the use of bio-plastics, eventually developing Safety Net, which is on view at the @bronxmuseum AIM Biennial until June 29, 2026.

Artist Spotlight! 🕸️
RAR invited emerging multidisciplinary artist and educator Noga Cohen to share about career programs that have supported her work thus far.
On her own volition, Noga reflected on the impact of residencies and fellowships from @lmcc_nyc@nyfacurrent@bronxmuseum on her career readiness and network of support in New York City.
Swipe to read about these programs in Noga’s words 👣
Lots of insight for #nycartists looking to tap into emerging networks and #immigrantartists seeking mentorship.
Thanks for sharing @nogie_ ✨

My recent site specific installation at @artifice.nyc Whitebox, called What If To Survive Is To Become Something Else, was a reflection on processes transformation. It’s made out of biodegradable plastic casted onto 6-pack can holders - each piece is a testament of how organic and synthetic materials shape and twist one another symbiotically.
This project, curated by @caitlintherien , was shown at @zerospace Brooklyn.

I love being a part of projects run by artists. I’m grateful to have been included in Syncretism, a @newyorktextilemonth group show curated by the brilliant @rfflowerr and @jasminriskstudio , amongst so many great artists.

WHITEBOX ACT I: ARTIFACT 4/6
THE ANCESTRAL What If To Survive Is To Become Something Else by Noga Cohen
Reminiscing on the ways invisible forces shape - and are shaped by one another, What If To Survive Is To Become Something Else contemplates the blurred boundary between the anthropomorphic, the human, and synthetic objects. This floor installation incorporates biodegradable plastic casted onto disposable six-pack can holders, transforming familiar symbols of waste and consumption into spinal, animalistic objects. WHITEBOX: The Garden (ACT I) 4-7pm Presenting material artifacts grounded in bioculture and biophilia, exploring how we cultivate, disrupt, and relate to the living world. ——
Presenting ARTIFACT 4/6 ARTIFACTS are pieces made with a skill and/or to represent a concept. We position these as not isolated objects, but relational presences. Each exists in conversation: with its viewer, its setting, and how its encountered.
ARTIFICE is a hybrid concept studio based on science-fiction, where art + technology converge to shape + link artifacts through strategy + vision. ZeroSpace @zerospace 345 Butler St, Gowanus RSVP link in bio or visit lu.ma/005
Lately, I’ve been developing a new body of work that combines mass-produced found objects with biodegradable plastic. This synthesis of materials has opened up so many unexpected discoveries, revealing how organic and synthetic elements shape, and are shaped by one another. Fascinated by the twisted, spine-like forms that emerged through these experiments, I began laying the groundwork for a larger project.
I’m now excited to present a site-specific installation at @zerospace as part of @artifice.nyc 005, opening on Saturday, September 20th. For more details and RSVP go to the link in my bio!
