Join us this Thursday May 7th for the last thesis show of the Year!! 6-9pm

The ground trembles beneath our feet. Twilight starts to take hold. The artists in Midnight Town take the tangible world as a point of departure and refract and distort it, crystallizing in their work realities that feel parallel to yet distinct from our own. They consider what it means to abstract and at the same time what it means to represent objects, ideas, and systems of belief that we encounter. Through these acts of alchemical transformation, they propose what might happen when we apprehend the world as slippery rather than fixed.

——————

Kern Samuel (b. 1990, Mount Hope, Trinidad and Tobago) is an artist living and working on the East Coast. He received his BFA from Cooper Union and his MFA from the Yale School of Art. His practice explores the expanded language of painting through sewing, dyeing, collage, and drawing. Leaning toward abstraction and text, his work engages the symbolic and subjective dimensions of aesthetic experience, often grounded in personal and everyday materials. Recent solo and institutional exhibitions include Paining (Derosia, New York, 2023), Hard Ground (MoMA PS1, New York, 2024), Rough Draft (Soft Opening, London, 2025), and Bonner Kunstverein (Bonn, Germany, 2022).

Ellie Krakow is an interdisciplinary artist whose work spans sculpture, drawing and photography. Seeking to claim a place for the sick body in the lineage of figurative sculpture, her work combines bodily representation with forms inspired by the architectures of medical intervention. Her work has been presented in solo exhibitions at Underdonk, Marinaro, Below Grand, Goodyear Gallery at Dickinson College, NURTUREart, and Cuchifritos, and in group shows at Simone Subal Gallery, 1/9unosunove, Field Projects, Thierry Goldberg, Kingston Sculpture Biennial, and the P**a Film Festival. She has participated in residencies at Sharpe-Walentas, Skowhegan, Yaddo, Abrons Arts Center, Shandaken: Stormking, and The Swimming Hole Foundation. Parallel to her studio practice, Krakow’s text-based works have been published in Precog, VECTOR, Lookie-Lookie, and Drain Journal, and her curatorial projects have been shown at The Whitney Museum of American Art, NURTUREart, and Mazmanian Gallery at Framingham State University. Krakow earned her MFA from Hunter College and her BA through study at Yale University and the Rhode Island School of Design.

Join us on Thursday for the artist talk with Kameelah Janan Rasheed at 7pm in the Flex Space at 205 Hudson st.

Kameelah Janan Rasheed is a learner. Her middle name, Janan, comes from the Arabic trilateral root (J-N-N / جنان), evoking that which is unmoored, veiled, and unsanctioned. Accordingly, Rasheed explores the relationship between language, mysticism, and disobedience. She examines the materiality of wayward language - acrobatic (Clarice Lispector) sentences with trap doors (Fred Moten), runaway syllables that scatter to the marooned edges of a page, words that escape the orbit of its mother sentence, footnotes that consume their reference, and utterances that dissipate before being recorded. She also explores the materiality of reading, centering spiritual practices where reading happens through touch and digestion, rather than solely looking. A „language person“ (Paul Soulellis), she „gives language a body“ (Chang Yuchen) through her large-scale installations, multichannel video works, publications, software, performance, public archives, and learning platforms.

Her work across art, pedagogy, and emerging technologies has garnered numerous honors. In 2024, she was an Artes Mundi 11 Finalist and received a High Desert Test Sites Fellowship at Joshua Tree. She received additional fellowships and awards from Working Artist (2023); Schering Stiftung (2022 Award for Artistic Research); Creative Capital Award (2022); anArtists + Machine Intelligence Grants - Experiments with Google (2022); and Guggenheim Fellowship in Fine Arts (2021). Her work has also been presented across the world, including the continents of North America, South America, Africa, Asia, and Europe. Recent and upcoming solo exhibitions include Henry Art Gallery (2025), REDCAT (2024), KW Institute of Contemporary Art (2023), Art Institute of Chicago (2023), and Kunstverein Hannover (2022). She has participated in group exhibitions at the Studio Museum, Bronx Museum, New Museum, Brooklyn Museum, MASSMoCA, the Kitchen, and ICA Philadelphia, among others.

Tonight! Visiting Artist Kemar Keanu Wynter at 7pm in the Flex Space at 205 Hudson st.

Drawing upon his years of Friday nights cooking in familial kitchens and a nourished upbringing along the bakery and jerk shop-lined cross-streets of Crown Heights, Kemar Keanu Wynter’s abstract works are a generous stew of language and pigment. Layers of luscious, gestural strokes draw the viewer into fields of color which frequently operate with coded references to his histories; one, storied and generations-long in the Antilles and another budding and burgeoning in the Five Boroughs. Through this interplay of motif and materiality, the viewer’s own tethers to comfort, history and home are brought into focus.
