CUE is pleased to announce the launch of a hybrid artist selection process featuring solo exhibitions curated by established artists, alongside a series of solo and group exhibitions selected by an annual Open Call. We are excited to announce CUE's 2016 exhibition lineup below!

+ Kambui Olujimi
Curated by Hank Willis Thomas
CUE's 2015 Open Call winners were unanimously selected by a jury comprised of Cecilia Alemani, Donald R. Mullen, Jr. Director & Chief Curator of High Line Art; Renaud Proch, Executive Director of Independent Curators International (ICI); and Rujeko Hockley, Assistant Curator of Contemporary Art at the Brooklyn Museum.
SOLO EXHIBITION OPEN CALL
+ Tamara Johnson
+ Erin Dunn
+ Christina P. Day
CURATORIAL PROJECT OPEN CALL
+ Radical Plastic, curated by Rachel Reese
Radical Plastic features women artists who employ formal aesthetic languages to address more human contexts such as the body, gender, and domesticity, as well as certain domestic constructs—in particular the still life.
PARTICIPATING ARTISTS: Becca Albee, Carolyn Carr, Catherine Czacki, Rachel Debuque, Carson Fisk-Vittori, Michelle Grabner, Mia Goyette, Ria Roberts, and Carolyn Salas.
In line with CUE’s commitment to providing substantive professional development opportunities, curators and panelists also serve as mentors to the exhibiting artists, providing support throughout the process of developing the exhibition. CUE’s exhibition program aims to present new and exceptionally strong work by under-recognized and emerging artists based in the United States, and is committed to exhibiting work of all media, genres, and styles from artists of all ages.
