NCAP

Seed Space is a lab for site-specific installation, sculpture, and performance-based art in Nashville. We support our program in three specific ways. We bring in nationally recognized art critics to write our exhibition essays.  We give regularly scheduled public talks.  We provide consultation with art experts. Through these means we aim to foster an exchange between a growing network of local and national artistic communities, which we believe is one of the best ways to support the careers of emerging artists.

Located within a 100-year-old hosiery mill in South Nashville, Seed Space is supported by NCAP, the Nashville Cultural Arts Project, and is made possible with grants from the Tennessee Arts Commission and the Metro Nashville Arts Commission.

LOCATION 427 Chestnut Street Nashville, TN, 37203   HOURS M, W, F, 12 - 4pm.  We are also open by appointment.  Call 615-479-8623 to set up a time to visit.

Exhibit Brochure (pdf)

 

Seed Space is pleased to announce a mixed media installation from Jason Paradis, an artist and curator from Canada who now lives and works in the New York area. Paradis often makes personal, site specific work, and for "Nashville 04.30-05.03.10," references the recent Nashville flood of 2010.

 

This is Paradis’ first exhibition in the south, which is exciting given the thematic link between his artwork and the southern agrarian tradition. His installationsblend contemplation, wonder, and reverie with a certain psychedelicoddity that is perfectly at home here. Existential wonderings on the mystery of nature and thepossibility of solitude pervades his work, a result,Paradis says, of “a lot of camping under an expansive sky in the northern Canadian wilderness. There, questions emerged regarding the existence of something much larger than the immediate world. “

 

Paradis currently teaches Studio classes at Stony Brook University and Art Theory and Appreciation at St-Joseph’s College. His work has been displayed in several exhibitions in and around New York City as well as across the United States and Canada. Among these are New York area galleries such as White Columns, Jessica Murray Projects, Cynthia Broan Gallery, Marcus Ritter, and OMNI Gallery. Other venues include the Islip Art Museum, Patchogue Arts, and the Art Gallery at Virginia Tech. He received a BFA from Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, an MFA from Stony Brook University, and attended the selective Artist in the Marketplace (AIM) program hosted by the Bronx Museum of the Arts.
