Spring 2025

Opening Reception

Since 2016, New York-based artist collective CFGNY has investigated the transnational circulation of style. The group explores a constellation of aesthetics across architecture, contemporary fashion, historical collecting practices, and cultures of “cuteness” to address a condition it calls “vaguely Asian.” Approaching subjectivity and identity as relational and unresolved, CFGNY conceives its art-making – integrally collaborative within and beyond the collective – as an act of sociality.

#### Biography
CFGNY is an artist collective whose research-based practice takes the form of image making, installation, sculpture, and performance to expand ideas of racialization and subjectivity. Founded in 2016, the collective continually returns to the term “vaguely Asian”: an understanding of racial identity as a specific cultural experience combined with the experience of being perceived as other. Recent exhibitions, performances and projects include Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, New York (2025), Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2024), PIN-UP Magazine, Milan (2023), SculptureCenter, New York (2022), Japan Society, New York (2022), X Museum, Beijing (2021), RISD Museum, Providence (2019), and Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (2018). In October 2024, CFGNY was named Frieze London’s Focus Stand Prize winner for its presentation with Hot Wheels, Athens and London. CFGNY is composed of Daniel Chew, Ten Izu, Kirsten Kilponen, and Tin Nguyen.

Continuous Fractures Generating New Yields

​​Lindsay McIntyre engages filmmaking as a material practice. For over twenty-five years, she has experimented with manipulating the properties of celluloid – including handmaking her own film stock with caribou gelatin – creating a diverse body of films grounded in labour, collaboration and process. Working between documentary, experimental film, expanded cinema, and performance, McIntyre reflects on displacement from Inuit Nunangat, place- and land-based methodologies, Inuit community, and survivance, often in conversation with her family history.

#### Biography
Lindsay McIntyre is an artist and filmmaker of Inuit and mixed settler descent who explores place-based knowledge, material practices and personal histories in her experimental/documentary shorts. Her films have received numerous awards and accolades and have been presented at Anthology Film Archives, the Baltimore Museum of Art, Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, the National Museum of the American Indian, Rovaniemi Art Museum, and in film festivals worldwide. *NIGIQTUQ ᓂᒋᖅᑐᖅ (The South Wind)* (2023), her recent leap into narrative, garnered her Best Short at the imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival and a submission to the 2025 Academy Awards.
