CAMP WANATACHI GALLERY SHOW opens at Ramiken Crucible Gallery Thursday August 19th →

August 19th - September 6th, CAMP WANATACHI creator Natalie Weiss will be artist in residence at Ramiken Crucible Gallery. She is moving her home studio into the gallery, where she will prepare for CAMP WANATACHI’s Off-Broadway run.

Natalie has curated a group show full of art that summons CAMP WANATACHI — a chapel, tents, SP 404’s + synthesizers, stories of girls who had lesbian experiences at summer camp, projections of nature, huge angel wings and more. This gallery show, a fine art extension of CAMP WANATACHI, is called Jesus In Our Lives.

Featuring art by Bridget Regan, Jeremy Earhart, Tom Sawyer, Lauren Bahr, Natalie Weiss, Wheat Wurtzburger and Our Community. 

RAMIKEN CRUCIBLE GALLERY IS ON EAST BROADWAY AND CLINTON IN THE LOWER EAST SIDE. ENTRANCE IS A LARGE BLACK BOX.

Lauren’s Song of Revenge by Allie Tyspin

Ironing by Andrew Chadwick
Andrew Chadwick uses record players, microcassettes and radio to create quilted audio collages through broken records and object interference. Magnetic dregs and battered grooves yield a stuttering summertime soundclash.

A line of women braid themselves together in a social sculpture about how great it is to touch your friends. Featuring Throat II by Little Women arranged for four female voices by Natalie Weiss.

Pinning Music for Four Trombones by Conrad Winslow

Unicornicopia by Natalie Weiss
Wielding armfuls of samplers and synthesizers, a costume by riderhood and her little sister, Natalie Weiss will perform as Unicornicopia.
