Elizabeth Cooper + Caleb Nussear + Brian Zegeer


Elizabeth Cooper was born in New York and attended the Cooper Union and Columbia University. Her works have been seen internationally and her solo shows have been reviewed in The New York Times, Art In America, The Brooklyn Rail, The New Yorker and The New York Sun. She is represented by Thrust Projects on the Lower East Side in New York and Galerie Schmidt Maczollek of Cologne , Germany. She recently had a solo show at Galerie Gisele Linder of Basel, Switzerland. She is to be featured in an upcoming group show at Sloan Fine Art on the Lower East Side . 


Caleb Nussear is a New York based painter and installation artist. He has completed residencies at the Vermont Studio Center and at I-Park , CT. His work interweaves gesture and crystalline structures to present spare contemplative environs in which newborn information systems are engaged in a highly problematized search for self-knowledge. These systems continuously fold and unfold, evolving as vivid physical objects in the world, as objects that possess reflexive intelligence and function as animal life forms. Mr. Nussear pushes the limits of the 2-dimensional painted surface by either accentuating the work’s attachment to the wall or pulling the work from the wall, and out into space, utilizing the horizontal space of the floor in conjunction with the vertical.

Brian Zegeer is an artist and writer. He has exhibited in New York at venues including Stephan Stoyanov Gallery, Jack the Pelican Presents, Elga Wimmer Gallery, and Vaudeville Park. Other locations include the Delaware Museum of Art (Wilmington), Maryland Art Place (Baltimore), Vox Populi (Philadelphia), and Icebox Project Space (Philadelphia). Brian has built a maquette of a luxury condo building on a rubble pile in the East River , and toured the East Coast with a heavy-metal-inspired shadow theatre performance. He writes for Timeout NY and lives in Brooklyn.
