State of Wonder NYC, Edition no. 5: “Vices”

“State of Wonder” is a rotating, free-form group show split up into ten editions which encourage the viewer to gradually consider modern life from a variety of perspectives. We are seeking young artists working in all media who are born and/or raised in NYC and from the ages of 18-28, preferably those without current gallery representation or institutional support. Our mission is to highlight the brilliant work of young artists from the city, giving them a platform to document their experience of home at a time when recent sociopolitical factors like gentrification and a remote workforce are marking yet another era of disruption and displacement for countless New Yorkers.

We are seeking young artists working in all media who are born and/or raised in NYC and from the ages of 18-28, preferably those without current gallery representation or institutional support. Through the lenses of themes like technology, vices, and family, artists will respond to life in the world's most famous metropolitan area with work exhibited at varying locations throughout the city. By blending traditional curatorial presentation with untraditional events and formats, we are presenting a program that is accessible and meaningful to viewers of all ages and backgrounds.
