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.

RESUME


Amra Caus (b. 1984) is a multidisciplinary artist who primarily works with paper and collected objects.
Drawing from her personal experience of involuntary migration as a young person, her current practice
explores themes foreignness, materiality, and the collective intimacy towards personal belonging(s). Her
work is informed by language and objects of antiquity to reimagine a future that is based in collective joy
and curiosity. Her work has been exhibited at Shoot the Lobster, Swivel Gallery, NADA Art Fair, Galerie
Christine Mayer in Munich, was recently featured in Art in America’s Summer New Talent Issue, and in 2023
was the Artist-in-Residence at Hercules Studio Art Program. In 2020, she received her
Masters in Fine Arts from Hunter College in New York, NY. She is currently living and working in New
York, NY.
