    Places of Freedom and Containment @ Moore College of Art Design

    Opening reception: September 30, 5-7pm
    October 1 - December 3, 2022

    Curated by Charlotta Kotik and program of Moore’s Visiting Curators Initiative, at The Galleries at Moore College of Art & Design.

    Kotik’s presentation incorporates the work of four women artists: Rehab El Sadek, Sara Jimenez, Shervone Neckles, and Kara Rooney who all explore relationships to/with/in various locations—often places of origin—and examines the formal and psychological impact of such places on their creative practices. Illuminating intricacies of both urban design and individual domiciles, these unique perspectives explore how cross-cultural gender roles can be employed to create more enriching environments and offers a multicultural examination of urban and domestic spaces.

  • Bless This House @ Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville

    Bless This House @ Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville

    Opening Reception: September 3, 11am -1pm
    Curated by UNF Associate Professor Sheila Goloborotko and Assistant Professor Andy Kozlowski

    The song, Bless this House in the voice of Mahalia Jackson filled the rooms of Shervone Neckles' family home in Grenville, Grenada, West Indies. Encircled by the repeated refrain in varying tones, this Gospel calls for a blessing-to the walls, roof, door, and windows. Lastly, it somberly calls for a heartfelt prayer to the people that inhabit the house. This song, like all prayers, is a solemn request for help in the face of uncertainty, an appeal for guidance towards refuge and security.

    What makes a House one's Home?

  • Care/Repair: Mending the Circle @ Flushing Town Hall

    Care/Repair: Mending the Circle @ Flushing Town Hall

    Exhibition Date: June 1 - June 22
    Opening Reception: Sunday, June 12, 12-5 PM

    Care/Repair: Mending the Circle is not just an exhibition, it is a statement and conversation about human cooperation and our mutual interdependence. Care is fundamental to the human condition. It is manifest in myriad acts of kindness and labors of love. All humans are engaged in care activities, both as receivers of care and in most cases as care givers. And we care most for those that are emotionally, physically and culturally closer to us. What are the boundaries of our caring? How far should the boundaries of caring be expanded?

    This exhibition is presented by SEQAA (Southeast Queens Artist Alliance). Participating artists include Damali Abrams, Natali Bravo-Barbee, Sherese Francis, Jacqueline Herranz-Brooks, Chemin Hsiao, Marvenia Knight, Rejin Leys, Angela Miskis, Shervone Neckles, Elizabeth Velazquez, Shenna Vaughn, Margaret Rose Vendryes. The exhibition is curated by Shilpi Chandra.

    The Agreement: Chromatic Presences @ Zürcher Gallery, New York

    April 2 - May 11, 2022
    Curated by: William Corwin

    Featured Artists: William Corwin, Poppy DeltaDawn, Tom Doyle, Daniel Giordano, Remy Jungerman, Shervone Neckles, Ugo Rondinone, Andrew Ross, Nancy Shaver, Kianja Strobert, Lynn Umlauf, and Sun You

    In the story of Noah and the Ark, after the flood, the creator who has just destroyed almost all the evidence of their artistic practice—aka God—makes a binding promise to never do it again. They present the world with a gift, one which is unexpected and extraordinary. It is a sculpture: a bow of many colors. If effect, God is making a bond between themselves and all living creatures through the presentation of an art object. Whenever this object, this pledge, appears in the skies after a storm, all living beings will know that they are safe, at least from cataclysmic destruction. “The Agreement: Chromatic Presences” is an examination of the connection the viewer feels towards a polychrome sculpture that shares their space. It hearkens back to this original notion that these objects, simultaneously real and impossible, symbolize a pact between ourselves and the inscrutable and unknowable.

    Under the Waqwaq Tree @ Slash Arts

    October 16, 2021 through January 23, 2022
    Curated by Naz Cuguoglu

    Featured Artists: Anna Betbeze, Patricia Domínguez, Katie Dorame, Nilbar Güreş, Michelle Handelman, Sahar Khoury, Cathy Lu, Ranu Mukherjee and Shervone Neckles

    Once upon a time, there was a tree on a far far away island. On this tree grew female creatures, reproducing and self-perpetuating in an endless cycle. You could hear their screams “waq! waq!” at night as they ripened and dropped to the ground.

    Same story, different names — Waq Waq in medieval Arab geographical and imaginative literature, Nariphon in Buddhist mythology, Jinmenju in Japanese legends, Zaqqum in the Quran — this is a tale with many echoes across time and geographies. A speculative fabulation, an illusion: Can you prove it did not happen?

    Under the Waqwaq Tree brings fabulous creatures and ferocious monsters into the exhibition space to tell stories of the “other” — the so-called aliens (legal or illegal), the ones who have been deemed “mad,” the historically and systemically underrepresented and oppressed.
