“Statement from curators Martita Abril, Zahra Banyamerian and Yanira Castro: Each year, the body of work showcased in In/Between takes on a collective vision. In selecting and bringing this work together from New York Foundation for the Arts’ 2023 immigrant artist cohort—nineteen artists from nineteen countries covering four continents—we hope to highlight a diversity of forms, mediums, materials, backgrounds, identities. Our title for this year’s exhibition, Lush Friction, is our response to overarching themes we experience in the works of this year’s cohort—use of sumptuous imagery, and conflicting conversations on memory, fiction, desire, alienation, authoritarianism, and interconnectedness. Lush Friction re-interprets in-betweenness as non-fictional/fictional reminiscence, considering the complexity of our shared experiences of (un)belonging, the resistance to being defined by border crossing, and the continual quest for community.”
