In the exhibition Home, young artists from the CUE Teen Collective define what home means to them. All of the artists still live with their parents and guardians in New York City. Some artists take a more concrete geographic approach that showcases places that feel like home to them, while other artists explore the more abstract meanings of home by examining the sacred comfort and private feelings that they associate with their homes. Other artworks explore the identities that arise from a shared space, whether sharing an apartment with siblings and parents or sharing your life with your friends and finding a piece of Home in moments with them. This exhibition showcases the efforts of the CUE Teen Collective, and marks the conclusion of their time in the collective over the 2017-2018 term.
The exhibition features work by: Faye Arranz, Martine Arranz, Jason Bacalla, Benjamin Ciufo, Katrina Dydzuhn, Miriam Entin-Bell, Gio Fabre, Gia Gambrell, Nina (Al) Gatta, Petvy Li, Mezi, Mumtahina Nabila, Crystal Robertson, Angelica Ruano, Sophia Schupp, David Winner Sterling, Ellen Toeroek, Xuduan You
About CUE Teen Collective
CUE Teen Collective (CTC) is a free, year-long after-school program for high school students who are passionate about visual culture and interested in exploring careers in the fine arts. Through the program, students investigate various aspects of the contemporary art world, develop and refine their artmaking and critical thinking skills, and conceptualize and create artwork for a final group exhibition presented at CUE’s gallery space. CTC offers behind-the-scenes access to the New York art world, demystifying career paths in the arts while inspiring students to develop their own personal artistic voices. The program consists of talks with artists and curators, trips to gallery and museum shows, visits to art fairs, hands-on studio sessions, and more. Participants have the opportunity to learn from working arts professionals and build sustainable and rewarding careers of their own in the arts.
Participants form a community with their peers over the course of the academic year, sharing their work with each other and exchanging meaningful feedback on artistic concepts, techniques, and processes as they work together to develop and refine their artistic practices. At the culmination of the program, students present original artwork as part of a group show, for which they collectively decide upon the theme and content. Students also learn how to communicate their work through the development of visual and written materials for the final exhibition, including curatorial statements, artist statements, and artist biographies. Through this process, students learn how to envision, produce, install, and communicate an art exhibition in the same manner as working artists, organizations, and galleries all over the world.
