Opening Reception: Friday, March 15, 6-8pm
Artist Talk: Friday, March 15, 7pm
How much is an hour of your time worth and what is the worth of each dollar you make? In a period of financial flux, and in an economy that is arguably partial to a percentage of the work force, we are challenged to question how value and our values quantify and define one another.
In light of these questions, the NARS Foundation is delighted to announce its second annual Juried Solo Exhibition, Currency, featuring a multidisciplinary project by artist Denis Beaubois. Beaubois was selected by Benjamin Genocchio, Editor-in-Chief of Art + Auction Magazine and Artinfo.com. Reflecting on his work, Genocchio states:
I was struck immediately by the universal pertinence of this work-- it spoke to me, across borders, time, about the economic determinism of our age, maybe of all ages, but something that felt especially relevant given the global financial crisis and ensuing recession. I was curious to know more about the work which essentially involves a manipulation of registers of value for both art and money.

On view in the Parlor Room, and opening concurrently with the annual Juried Solo Exhibition, the New York Art Residency & Studios (NARS) Foundation is pleased to present unfettered, a group show featuring paintings by Jaqueline Cedar, Ketta Ioannidou and Noah Landfield. Their works evoke metaphysical landscapes and traverse sensibilities while exploring the medium with a fresh and viscerally stimulating perspective. Each artist embraces the transformative tension between elements of color, structure, and form. Their pictorial fields create whole environments that are simultaneously immense and intimate; a final destination and a dynamic, directed action. Unhesitatingly emoting bold and rapturous energy, each piece offers viewers an opportunity to engage physically and undividedly.
