“Dreaming//Awake” at Lower East Side Printshop, New York, 2024
Curated by Nic Caldwell
Participating artists include Paria Ahmadi, Nereida Patricia, Felix Plaza, Nat Pyper, Jennifer Teresa Villanueva, and Tianxing Xu. Dreaming is one of the most universal human experiences, one shared across cultures and time. Dreams ask what conversation we could have if we let the imagination speak. They create a unique space where the impossible becomes possible, allowing us to explore our deepest desires and fears without the constraints of reality. This ability to hold and navigate two worlds, dreaming and awakeness, is essential to imagining the futures we need to create in order to survive and thrive. Dreaming//Awake explores the dreams of our ancestors known and unknown, of our parents, and of our childhoods. Artists in this exhibition juxtapose concrete images with abstraction to rewrite memory, morph reality, and transform cultural narratives, reorganizing the world for new future possibilities.

Merid Award in ArtFields 2023 Competition
ArtFields started in 2013 with a simple goal: honor the artists living and working in the Southeast with a week’s worth of celebration in the heart of a traditional Southern small town. The winners of two People’s Choice Awards are determined by the votes of people visiting ArtFields; a panel of art professionals selects all the other awards, including the $50,000 Grand Prize and $25,000 Second Place award. Up to 400 works of art will be on display in locally-owned venues, from renovated 1920s warehouses and professional art spaces such as Jones-Carter Gallery and TRAX Visual Art Center to the library, the history museum, the Ronald E. McNair Life History Center, restaurants, boutiques and other shops. During ArtFields, what was once one of South Carolina’s most prosperous agricultural communities becomes a living art gallery as we recognize, celebrate and share the artistic talent of the Southeast.
