Chapter NY

Founded by Nicole Russo in 2013, Chapter NY is committed to supporting artists at various phases in their careers by encouraging ongoing artistic exploration and providing instrumental curatorial support throughout an artist’s career.

Working closely with individual artists, Chapter NY helps realize tightly envisioned exhibitions that foster artistic exploration and growth across various mediums, including site-specific installation, sculpture, ceramics, video, drawing, painting, and photography. In addition to their gallery roster, Chapter NY is committed to providing a flexible platform for non-represented artists working across a range of media and experience, maintaining its mission to present experimental projects beyond the scope of traditional exhibitions.

Represented artists have recently exhibited at the Whitney Museum of American Art; the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the New Museum, New York; Tate Britain; the Venice Biennale; and Atlanta Contemporary, Atlanta; among others.

Informed by her background in photography, Nasatir creates paintings that intentionally evoke the translucency and flatness of photographic images. She transforms everyday objects to the point of the surreal, collecting and accumulating her subjects before distorting and abstracting their forms through various processes.
