Excited to be exhibiting three drawings at Amos Eno Gallery’s project space next month with the local members exhibition “In Translation” !! In Translation Amos Eno Gallery Project Space 191 Henry St, NYC On view: April 30 to June 7, 2026 Reception: Friday, May 1, from 6 to 8 p.m. In Translation brings together five artists whose works examine how inherited systems — linguistic, biological, algorithmic, political, and ritual — shape identity and belonging. Across drawing, painting, sculpture, and collage, the exhibition asks how forms are received and remade: to be patterned by forces larger than the self, and to respond by constructing new visual languages. Curated by gallery director Ellen Sturm Niz, the exhibition traces a shared tension between origin and invention — between what is given and what is built in response. Each artist engages a distinct system of transformation, from cultural displacement and personal syntax to painterly fracture, algorithmic logic, and political interference. Translation emerges here not as loss, but as a generative act — a process of absorbing disturbance and reconstituting it as meaning. At a moment when identity is increasingly mediated by technology, migration, and political division, the question of how meaning is constructed — and who constructs it — feels newly urgent. In Translation responds by foregrounding artists who do not simply receive these systems, but actively reshape them.

OPEN CALL Juried by Christopher Squier Word Pictures and Poem Objects is an online exhibition hosted by Amos Eno Gallery on Artsy.net. This exhibition invites artists and writers to present works that engage with the poetic and the plastic, inhabiting the interdisciplinary space between writing, speech, mark making, and epistolary abstraction. The open call departs from the Surrealist practice of the poème-objet, the dream-based assemblages constructed from scraps of text and found objects by André Breton between 1924 and the 1940s. Poem objects were later picked up by modernist poets and artists of the neo-concrete movement including Ferreira Gullar, Lygia Pape, and Hélio Oiticica who brought poetry into contact with materiality and relational aesthetics. How might these modernist poetics might be reimagined today? — to plunge into the space of a poem, uncover beauty in the ligatures, serifs, and graphic strokes of typographic design, find revelation in mundane constructions of paper and ink, or encode mysteries within the compositional space of a drawing, a sculpture, or an artist book. Apply: /amosenogallery/word-pictures-and-poem-objects Images: Guillaume Apollinaire, Eugen Gomringer, André Breton, On Kawara, Ferreira Gullar, Hélio Oiticica, stanley brouwn, Hanne Darboven, Raven Chacon, and Lygia Pape @amosenogallery
