Clyde Nichols is a New York City based artist, writer, and recent graduate from The Cooper Union.
I’m sitting cross-legged on the bright pink floor of Adriana Farmiga’s Index, at Marisa Newman Projects. The installation contains a large set of marine-plywood cut forms resting atop the pink paint that coats the floor and the lower part of the walls.
The exhibition’s title is a satirical jab at similar museum-based surveys that attempt to capture contemporary photographic vectors but are constrained by unwieldy bureaucracy. The curators’ hope is that a more intimate approach will yield a more nuanced set of relationships. By most measures, they’ve succeeded.
