Natale Adgnot and Tegan Brozyna Roberts present new textile artworks in the two-person exhibition Mending Fences at Gallery 1923, on view November 8 – 17, 2024, with an opening reception on November 8th, 6-8 pm. Read the full press release here.

In Mending Fences, Adgnot and Brozyna Roberts use textile art to conceptually and materially explore how to pay better attention to one’s surroundings and look for ways to repair frayed relationships. The title of the exhibition references both artists’ use of thread, Brozyna Roberts’ explorations of overlooked details in everyday surroundings like worn layers of paint that accumulate on fences and other objects in the built environment, and Adgnot’s work that cautions against the human tendency to rush to judgment instead of looking for pathways to connect.

Exhibition dates: Nov. 8 – 17
Opening reception: Nov. 8th, 6-8pm
Prospect Series Concert: Nov. 15th at 8pm with gallery hours from 6-9pm
Open by appointment

Curated by Genevieve Lowe, this “intriguing group exhibition about ‘twin-works,’” as described recently in Hyperallergic, explores the creative impulse of duplication, twinship, reflection, and features four works by Adgnot from her ongoing Bird Brains series. Adgnot is exhibiting alongside artists Emily Davidson, James Parker Foley and Maria Stabio.

I will be exhibiting work at the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists’ Coalition from Sept. 21st through October 13th.

The Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition presents its very own Salon des Refusés 2024.

In 1863, the Paris Salon held its annual exhibition of academic arts. Thousands of artists applied but were rejected and were unable to display their work in the official Salon exhibition. It was determined that their work did not fulfill academic standards of the time. Emperor Napoleon III, who wanted the public to make the decision, organized a simultaneous exhibition of all the rejects in the Palace of Industry. This exhibition included artists such as Manet, Cezanne, Pissarro and Whistler. The exhibition of “rejects” became famously known as the Salon des Refusés 1863.

It is with this in mind that the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition welcomes Brooklyn artists who have received the rejection notifications from the highly anticipated "Brooklyn Artists Exhibition" at BM, to exhibit in our gallery...as it was then...let the public decide.

481 Van Brunt St., Door 7A Brooklyn NY 11231

Exhibition Dates: Saturday, Sept 21 – Oct 13, 2024, weekends 1‐6 P.M.
Opening Reception: Saturday, Sept 21, 2024, from 1‐6 P.M.

Fiber works from my Bird Brains series are part of this group exhibition taking place in Brooklyn during New York Textile Month’s 9th edition.

The exhibition "Tentacular Threads" delves into the intricate relationship between hybridity, the experience of everyday, and the process of making to explore how desperate elements converge to create new narratives and experiences. Featuring artists Natale Adgnot, Frid Branham, Rina AC Dweck, Kathie Halfin, Yudit Katz, Elizabeth Tolson, the show investigates the concept of tentacular thinking—a term coined by scholar Donna Haraway to describe a holistic approach to consciousness. Tentacularity acknowledges the multiplicity of converging and expanding threads of sentience that co-exist together, much like tentacles that allow organisms to sense, feel, and interact with their environment.

Exhibition Dates: September 5th to 19th
Opening: September 5th 5-8pm
Closing: September 19th 6-8 pm

75 19th Street, Brooklyn

I’m pleased to participate in the inaugural edition of this art fair that will take place during all four days of Upstate Art Weekend 2024.

Zero Art Fair is an experimental way to match artworks with people who want to live with art but can’t necessarily afford it. Through Zero Art fair, people can take possession of artwork without buying it. Developed by artists Jennifer Dalton and William Powhida, the fair uses a ‘store-to-own’ contract to offer artworks free of charge, but with strings attached.

More about the fair can be found here.

I’m pleased to have work included in this collaboration between The Ely Center of Contemporary Art of New Haven CT and Artport in Kingston NY. ECOCA is participating in Upstate Art Weekend.

The Gallery at Yellow Studio is proud to present "Natural Tendencies," a group exhibition featuring four artists: Tomoko Abe, Natale Adgnot, Allison Belolan, and Christy Sheppard Knell. The exhibition, selected as part of this year's Upstate Art Weekend, will be on view from July 13 through August 8, 2024, with an opening reception on Saturday, July 13, from 4 to 6 pm.

"Natural Tendencies" delves into the complex relationship between humanity, nature, and perception, exploring themes of transience, permanence, and the influence of bias on our understanding of the world. Tomoko Abe, Natale Adgnot, Allison Belolan, and Christy Sheppard Knell employ diverse materials and experimental approaches to investigate our connection to the environment, the fragility of existence, innate and acquired biases, faulty perception, the interplay between the ephemeral and the enduring, and the balance between what is designed and destined. Through their thought-provoking works, these artists encourage viewers to contemplate the intricacies of our subjective experiences and our relationship with the natural world.

July 13 to August 8
Upstate Art Weekend: Thursday July 18 to Sunday July 21
Artist Talk: August 8 from 6-7:30pm

440 Gallery celebrates small-scale creativity and innovation with The 18th Annual Small Works Show currently on display at the gallery. This national juried show, a collection of 87 works submitted by nearly 500 artists, is our annual way to acknowledge that size is irrelevant to awesomeness. Artwork qualified for selection as long as it measured no more than 12” in all dimensions, including framing and any digital media hardware required for display. Johnny Thornton, the 2022 juror, considered over 1,400 submissions ranging from traditional painting and sculpture, to photography and digital works of art.

I’m always thrilled to invite the public into my Brooklyn studio during GOS. This mega-event encompasses dozens of addresses and hundreds of artists in the Gowanus area. My studio building is one of the biggest — over 100 artists work here. Come by and take a peek behind the scenes.

I am exhibiting artwork from my Bird Brains series in a group show curated by Francesca Pessarrelli that includes painting, sculpture, textile art and more.

Don’t Panic is an imperative. We must not panic. The world is on fire but don’t panic. Your rights are on the line but don’t panic. We’re entering a recession but don’t panic. Your lover left you but don’t panic. But how? For those who are coping, how? For those who aren’t, what do you do? Take solace in humor. Meditate. Medicate. Make art. Scroll and scroll and scroll ad nauseam. Listen to your therapist. Listen to your astrologer. Don’t listen to the news.

This exhibition brings together thirteen artists from Ti Art Studios whose works address the resilience of not panicking, the vulnerability it takes to give in to the panic, and what coping means in a time of overwhelming distress.

Opening reception: October 13th, 6-9pm
Exhibition dates: October 11 - 23, 2022

I am thrilled to have been included in an exhibition curated by Marly Hammer and Lisa Wirth of Work In Progress Advisory, set to take place for three months at The Nevelson Chapel.

As a woman sculptor, I am particularly honored to show my work in the context of a meditative space designed by the legendary Louise Nevelson. The chapel was intended to provide refuge to city dwellers and encourage reflection surrounded by her groundbreaking work.

Two pieces from my Minerals Series are part of this exhibition taking place in Brooklyn from July 19 through January 2023.

Inspired by an ongoing partnership with the noted Brooklyn Conservatory of Music in their cutting-edge Music Therapy program, The Watermark at Brooklyn Heights gallery presents Sound and Sight: A Duet, an exhibition in collaboration with nAscent Art New York and Brooklyn Conservatory of Music.

Art and music share the ability to communicate across boundaries. As dynamic creative languages, they have the capacity to express emotion, forge connections, evoke memories, and capture the energy or essence of a time or place.

“Sound and Sight: A Duet” brings creative conversations to life between eight artworks and eight original musical compositions by visual artists and musicians in the New York City area. In an exchange between creative minds, nAscent’s curatorial team paired four artworks with four existing musical pieces curated by the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music. Concurrently, the BKCM invited four of its musicians to each compose a new, original piece in response to four additional, existing visual works of art.

The resulting “duets” play with the connection between sound and art, both borrowing from and feeding the other. A jaunty, modern jazz trio captures the kinetic energy of figures against a New York City backdrop, while the graceful flow of abstract brushstrokes is mirrored through the sweet but mournful tones of harp, violin, and bass clarinet.
