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.

STATEMENT OF WORK
Cherry Nin is a New York City-based artist primarily making films. The eerie, the uncanny and the taboo are central to their work which explores queer ecologies and the practice of post-industrial alchemy. Driven by an ongoing investigation of the potential of video to transmute violence, and a devout commitment to art making as spiritual endeavor, Nin’s projects situate the hyper-real, the underground, the unseen, and the in-between as sites of play, possibility, and refuge for gendered and sexualized people. Positioning video as a tool for charting underground networks where technology, surveillance, labor and desire intersect, Nin’s films both expose apocalypse as current reality, and are in themselves spells for coping with such conditions.
