Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

Leche (1-6 of 39)
2016Leche is an HD online archive of El Santuario Virgen María del Rosario de San Nicolás de los Arroyos and its built-environment. I was summoned here months earlier by a footnote folded in the back of Marcella Althaus-Reid’s Indecent Theology. The revelation read, “See…the modern case of the woman who claims to have been seeing the Virgin of San Nicolás in Argentina.” This singular line directed my search for the contemporary visionary, Gladys Quiroga de Motta. Dwelling in the aftermath of my encounter with El Santuario, Leche revealed animation’s potential to bring life to seemingly dense inactive matter. These are 6 of 39 videos
