Current Exhibition: Kathleen Miglorie-Newton, Elisa Jensen, and Luzia Castañeda
In Transit
There’s a movement to living in New York City, whether walking to the bodega, commuting from borough to borough, or the ever-evolving and growing skyline. These three artists, Kathleen Miglorie-Newton, Elisa Jensen, and Luzia Castañeda, pose different moments of momentum in New York life. Miglorie-Newton captures the vibrancy and diversity of taking the subway. The stillness of staring at the person across the train while the subway tunnel whooshes by. Jensen helps us traverse the city, often by bike, always on to the next thing: the organic movement and excitement of urban life. Finally, Castañeda invites us to look up, inspired by iconic landmarks, to take in the wonder and magic of the architecture around us. All three artists saturate the viewer in color, inviting us to appreciate the familiar and see the beauty of life in transit.

PROJECT: 215 West 125th Street Lobby
New York, NY
ROLE: Curator of Rotating Art Loan Program
DATE: 2006 – Ongoing
215 West 125th is a class A office building in the heart of Harlem. The loan exhibition program was established over 12 years ago as a way of bringing life to the formal lobby space, providing an amenity of tenants and visitors and providing artists an opportunity for greater visibility and the potential for acquisition. The exhibitions change every 6 months to 1 year and include three to five artists per rotation.
CRG is committed to showing emerging artists and those who either live and work in the Harlem Community or capture the richness of the area through their art. The themes of the show have been varied to include: the rich history of Negro League Baseball, Jazz, and currently New York cityscapes.
