Triangle is excited to welcome our Dumbo 2021 Summer artists-in-residence: Jeffrey Meris Slinko Ilana Harris-Babou... Jodie Lyn-Kee-Chow Jeffrey Meris is an artist who works across sculpture, installation, performance, and drawing to consider ecology, embodiment and various lived experiences while healing deeply personal and historical wounds. Slinko is a multidisciplinary artist from Ukraine and is currently living in the USA. Her artistic practice is rooted in travel and research, and is informed by social sciences. In her work, Slinko investigates the effects and workings of power on society and individuals. Ilana Harris-Babou’s work is interdisciplinary; spanning sculpture and installation, and grounded in video. She speaks the aspirational language of consumer culture and uses humor as a means to digest painful realities. Jodie Lyn-Kee-Chow is an interdisciplinary artist who often stages live and lens-based performances. She constructs narratives with wearable sculptures, drawings, and prints that aim to highlight the lost traditions and stories of her own heritage(s), cultural ideologies and the effects of migration, globalization, and climate change.

We are thrilled to have reopened our studios to working artists again. Here’s what some of our artists have been working on this fall. Image 1+ 2: André Magaña, @andremagana_ is working on multiple series of sculptures that reference ancient Western Mexican artifacts and consumable goods one might find in a local Mexican market -- both of which hold significance to his personal history. Magaña's work reconciles how both consumables and ancient artworks (looted and studied by ...western historians) can be imbued with ancestral knowledge and self-affirming energy in spite of their entanglements with Western imperialism. Image 3+4: Also working in DUMBO, Riitta Ikonen, @dashdorn reports, Nicely stinky studio this week at Triangle! Here’s mushroom paper slurry in progress. Working on tests for the new cover material for my book ‘Eyes as Big as Plates,’ from foraged New York materials.

Triangle has been proud to offer space to multi-generational print collective Mobile Print Power. These new prints are amazing! @mprintpower
