NEST

Assembly Required (AR) is a collective of women artists of different backgrounds, based in NYC who came together during the isolation of 2020 to share our perspectives through objects, stories, and artistic experiences.

In Fall 2021, AR collaboratively curated NEST, a series of events and exhibitions engaging the Gowanus community with three local partners: Artpoetica Project Space, Footnote Gallery, and the Gowanus Dredgers Boathouse. The involved artists engaged individual and collective experiences of isolation, and of emerging out of our “nests” into the uncertain future.

Images are of a free, open book-making workshop and “Leave It Behind – Gowanus,” an interactive, public performance by Rosamond S. King.

Assembly Required considers art a required, essential action.
