New York, NY- Celebrating Women’s History Month, artist and curator Chellis Baird presents a group exhibition titled “From the Eyes of Her,” in collaboration with the NYC Culture Club and Port Authority of NY & NJ. This outdoor showcase, situated at the World Trade Center, unites 16 women artists whose works offer unique perspectives on space, through materials and compositions.
Featuring the art works of Nola Ayoola, Tirtzah Bassel, Layo Bright, Hedwig Brouckaert, Hope Buzzelli, Anna Camner, Michele Oka Doner, Dana James, Tamara Kostianovsky, Jessica Frances Gregoire Lancaster, Anastasia Lopoukhine, Amethyst Monet, Michaela Roman, Rachel Rubenstein, Naomi Safran-Hon and Vadis Turner, "From the Eyes of Her” delves into the transformative power of art in shaping our perceptions and memories.
The artists in this exhibition approach their practice from a female perspective, challenging conventional notions of public and private spheres. Whether through their choice of medium or thematic exploration, they invite viewers to reconsider their relationship with space and its impact on daily life.
As we navigate our daily routines and movements, our interactions with space influence our sense of comfort and familiarity. From the moment we awaken to our commute and return home, these patterns shape our experiences and perceptions. "From the Eyes of Her" prompts us to reflect on the significance of these routines and the disruptions that awaken us to new possibilities.
Established in 1987, Women’s History Month honors the enduring contributions of women throughout history. Similarly, the Port Authority, founded in 1921, serves as a cornerstone of transportation infrastructure, facilitating connectivity and societal development through land, air, and sea travel. Together, these institutions underscore the vital role of women and infrastructure in shaping our collective journey towards progress and growth.
