NEW YORK, NY.- The National Academy of Design will be presenting Sites of Impermanence, an exhibition of art and architectural works by the recently elected 2023 National Academicians Alice Adams, Sanford Biggers, Wille Cole, Torkwase Dyson, Richard Gluckman, Carlos Jiménez, Mel Kendrick, and Sarah Oppenheimer. The exhibition will run from February 8 to May 11, 2024, at 519 West 26th Street, 2nd Floor, New York, NY, the Academy’s new permanent Chelsea location. A public opening reception will be hosted on Thursday, February 8, from 6 to 8 pm. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 12 to 6 p.m.

Although disparate in their approaches to material and subject matter, the artists and architects featured in Sites of Impermanence form a vivid cross-section of responses to urgent contemporary conditions and the underlying histories that have shaped them. From site-specific projects to sculpture, drawing, architecture, textile, and interactive installation, the selection of works in the exhibition reflects on a bounty of ideas (critical environmental challenges, the ongoing effects of slavery, the blurred lines between human and machine) to chart pathways towards transformation and liberation.

Exhibiting a broad range of art and architectural works, Sites of Impermanence engages and unpacks a host of temporal and spatial concerns, exploring ideas of impermanence from a thoroughgoing understanding of formal interventions and the mutability of place. Artists Willie Cole and Sanford Biggers employ materials, laden with historical references, culturally and spiritually repurposing the familiar schemas and objects that recur through both their practices. Architect Richard Gluckman expands the built environment by adapting existing structures to meet the wants of contemporary culture.

Alternatively, architect Carlos Jiménez and artist Torkwase Dyson navigate human, landscape, and urgent ecological concerns. Mel Kendrick’s sculptures invite critical observations on the nature of perceiving place and time, calling attention to how the natural world shapes our perception of place and how both nature and our perception of it change over time. Concerned with an emphasis on aspects of architecture and landscape, Alice Adams’ work deals in the layers of both architecture and the body, recognizing the “skin of architecture,” pointing to internal and external structures like mesh and webbing that undergird many architectural projects.

Sites of Impermanence calls for visitors to consider their impact within public spaces, blurring the boundaries between human, object, and architecture. Pivotal to this premise is Sarah Oppenheimer’s manipulations of architectural space, which are conceived to question our agency and the impacts of our presence in sites that are physical, architectural, and infrastructural.

Sites of Impermanence is organized by Sara Reisman, Chief Curator, and Natalia Viera Salgado, Associate Curator.
