Heavenly Nightly

I’m trying to remember that little tin box you always had on you; it was tiny and hinged and you kept weird stuff from your grandparents in it.  An old newspaper clipping and a broken bracelet and something else I guess.  It all probably meant more to you than I ever considered.  I look deeper for that kind of inner beauty but often struggle.  You always find it; it’s there, you know it and it’s effortless for you to see.
 
Nicola Ginzel has received grants from the Mayer Foundation, Max’s Kansas City Project, and Artists’ Fellowship Inc.. Residencies include SIM—The Icelandic Visual Arts Association and Reykjavik Art Museum Residency; The Skaftfell Cultural Center Residency in Seydisfjördur, Iceland; and BoxoPROJECTS in Joshua Tree, CA.
 
She had her first ten–year retrospective and traveling museum exhibition “Language, Symbol, Artifact” at the Tennessee Valley Museum of Art in 2013.  Other selected solo exhibitions have been at Heskin Contemporary in NYC; Cathouse FUNeral in Brooklyn; Jenny Jaskey Gallery in Philadelphia; Corridor Gallery in Reykjavik, Iceland; and The Gallery @ 1GAP curated by SpenceProjects in Brooklyn.  Selected group exhibitions include Bernard Jacobson Gallery, NYC; NARS Foundation, Brooklyn; Centotto in Brooklyn; and Cindy Tower’s curated guerrilla shows at MoMA.  Nicola’s artwork has been featured in Art in America, Artcritical, New Art TV, Time Out New York, The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Chicago Tribune.  This is Nicola’s first show at SEASON.
