EXHIBITIONS
Noo Arts invites artists to exhibit and create site-specific works within our one-of-a-kind spaces: multiple indoor and outdoor arenas throughout our Brooklyn headquarters, an industrial plant turned rooftop wildlife sanctuary, as well as our historic, haunted house on Governors Island, a former military base now public parkland in the New York Bay.
We take pride in our commitment to supporting primarily emerging, immigrant, and marginalized artists through our exhibitions, artist awards, and residency programs. Our emphasis lies in promoting experimental and contemplative works that explore the themes of sustainability and the ever-evolving connection between humanity and nature.
Our visual art exhibits cover a wide range of mediums, from painting and sculpture to digital art, performance, and installation. We strive to curate exhibits that push boundaries and challenge traditional notions of what art can be.
We believe that art has the power to evoke change and shape perspectives, and we are proud to use our platforms across two NYC boroughs to showcase the incredible talent of a diverse range of artists who share our commitment to creating a more sustainable world.
Mothership NYC Presents: PICK A CARD, ANY CARD (2026)
a Tarot-Themed Traveling Show
@ Noo Arts House, 404A Colonels Row, New York, NY
A community of peers, Mothership NYC is an international, interdisciplinary artist collective and residency/presentation space located in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn, NYC. Founded and run by a painter captain aided by a rotating crew of fellow artists, this ship’s mission is to serve as a welcoming landing platform for colleagues from elsewhere making the leap to NYC: Its crew aims to support and promote peers at all career levels through residencies, public programming and collaborative opportunities; build lasting transnational artist networks; and help retain creative forces in New York City. To date, its global community comprises 213 artists from all continents.
Much like an ensemble cast, the Mothershippers—current, former, and/or future artists-in-residence at Mothership NYC—are a group of characters in a story where no single individual is clearly the protagonist. Instead, every participant has equal importance, contributing significantly to the overall plot with their individual storylines and interactions with one another. Seeking a visually intriguing theme that reflects this vibrant dynamic, the crew converged upon the Tarot: an ancient set of playing cards depicting universally shared archetypes.
While traditionally known as a fortune-telling game, the Tarot is also a vehicle for creative reflection, meditation, therapeutic practice, and spiritual exploration. By inviting a broad selection of sailors of diverse backgrounds, generations, geographic origins, and artistic disciplines to freely interpret any one Tarot card, the crew is setting a stage where each artist probes and reveals their inner world and personal story as part of a larger, richer, and constantly evolving shared narrative.
Throughout the summer, Noo Arts’ on-site curators will reshuffle these works once a month,
presenting a new deck of cards every 3rd Saturday on Governors Island:

Meditations on Geological Time Installation (2025) by Dan Gorelick
Site-Specific Installation (Inside Last Frontier NYC)
On view July-October 25, 2025.
---
Meditations on Geological Time is an interactive sound installation mediating the relationship between geological timescales and phenomenological time through four distinct sound compositions. Each composition sonifies terrestrial phenomena within the range of human hearing as pure-tone sine waves, rendering billions of years of the Earth’s transformations as a legible, contemporary experience.
---
Dan Gorelick is an artist who uses classical instruments and computation to create sonic experiences that connect people to themselves, each other, and the natural world. His current project, ATC Listening Station, creates a shared meditative soundscape by blending live air traffic control radio with generative synths. The piece was exhibited with the New Museum and was featured in the New York Times. His work explores how music, as a time-based medium, serves as a vehicle to appreciate timescales—human, biological, geological—and to promote awareness of our relationship with nature and climate. His practice draws inspiration from deep listening approaches, exploring the meditative, healing, and connective nature of sound. Dan is based between the Bay Area and New York City, and gives talks and workshops on the creative possibilities of technology. He is a member of the Art & Code NEW INC Year 10 and 11 cohort.
Entangled Light (2025) by Mollie Serena
Site-Specific Installation (Sunset Stage)
---
Suspended along the rooftop fencing, Entangled Light is a sculptural installation composed of upcycled plexiglass forms that refract sunlight by day and shimmer with solar-powered illumination by night. Gently shifting with the sun’s path, the work invites viewers into an evolving dance of color, light, and motion.
Crafted entirely from reclaimed materials—sourced from the artist’s prior public art series Lighting the Edge—the installation reflects a deep commitment to sustainability. Each form responds to subtle changes in light and angle, offering a quiet choreography of transformation that unfolds in real time.
In resonance with this season’s theme, The Microcosmic Dance, Entangled Light draws on the language of quantum motion and interconnectedness. Just as particles remain in flux, constantly interacting with the world around them, this work mirrors the ephemeral beauty of unseen forces—inviting us to pause, notice, and participate in the shared rhythms of light and life.

Mollie Serena is a New York City-based multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans photography, sculpture, and public art installations. She earned a BFA in Photography from Parsons School of Design and an MA and Ph.D. from The European Graduate School in Philosophy, Art, and Critical Thought. Mollie’s work investigates the intersections between human experience, environmental systems, and unseen energies, often blending natural and synthetic materials to create surreal, immersive environments. Since 2021, she has been a fellow with The Design Trust for Public Space, on a project called “Opening the Edge,” in which she created an installation series (I-IV) called “Lighting The Edge” to celebrate the future of a public space at NYCHA’s Lillian Wald development in the Lower East Side. During the same time, she also created “Photon Light Garden,” a series of photographs printed on vinyl and displayed on a scaffold surrounding the same space as Lighting The Edge. Both projects focus on the ways light and form can reveal the invisible structures connecting all life. She collaborated with public housing residents to reimagine the community space through participatory workshops.

Repopulations: New Horizons (2022)
A site-specific group exhibition focused on environmental reflection
9/30/22 - 10/23/22
520 Kingsland Avenue, Greenpoint, Brooklyn
CLOSING Reception: Saturday, October 22nd from 6-8 PM
Special Performance: Vital Cloak by Cristina Canepa: 5 PM & 7 PM

REPOPULATIONS: New Horizons is the second iteration of the Climate Week-inspired exhibition series REPOPULATIONS which focuses on environmentally-themed subjects and takes place yearly during the summer and early fall months. Curated by Daniela Holban, this exhibition is part of the larger Noo Arts' WE ARE NATURE Series: art events that make full use of the unique stage setting of the Kingsland Wildflowers bird sanctuary at Broadway Stages in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, to engage a diverse audience in environmental efforts through art.
REPOPULATIONS: New Horizons brings together a group of contemporary artists to reflect and discuss environmentally-focused themes, the state of the world today, and new conceptions of the future. The exhibition will focus on female-identifying and non-binary artists, in an attempt to construct visions of the power of creation + destruction and metaphorically reclaim sacred spaces for the priestess archetype. This temporary environment will be used for reflection, meditation, and celebration of nature, humanity, and inspiration, a place meant to contemplate how we will build a new world after the pandemic: the epoch-defining event of our time. The exhibition will present site-specific installations, immersive sound experiences, video, sculpture, and 2D works and will occupy Last Frontier NYC and parts of the Kingsland Wildflowers Rooftops.
The exhibition is sponsored, in part, by the Greater New York Arts Development Fund of the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by Brooklyn Arts Council (BAC), Noo Arts, and Broadway Stages. Exhibition preview on ARTFARE.

Noo Arts presents REPOPULATIONS, a group exhibition and series of performances opening during Kingsland Wildflowers' Fall Festival, taking place during Climate Week 2019. Curated by Daniela Holban, the show will feature works by 20+ artists.
REPOPULATIONS examines the parallels between declining local natural habitats within the Greenpoint landscape: Native plant and wildlife alongside the artists' populations have become depleted over time due to the neglect and contamination of their ecosystems by both industrial and property development. A commentary on a microcosm of a greater global crisis, the exhibition addresses the importance and celebrates the repopulation efforts of these ecosystems in several ways – by presenting a selection of artists working in the area as well as showcasing artworks that comment on environmental themes.
With Works by: Jon Barraclough, Marijke Brinkhof, Juliet Jane, Maki Kaoru, Aomi Kikuchi, Sol Kjok, Tom Koken, Sjaak Kooij, Ofra Lapid, Till Lauer, Allison Maletz, Julianne Nash, Agata Nowicka, Brian Rattiner, Beau Bree Rhee, Noam Shoan, Asia Sztencel, Adriano Valeri, Ingvild Waerhaug, Martynka Wawrzyniak, Albin Wiberg, Alex Wolkowicz and Gabriel Zimmer.
Special multi-media performance with Ingvild Waerhaug on vocals and Art Baron on bass recorder & trombone on Sept.21st at 6:30PM.
The exhibition is sponsored by Broadway Stages, a generous arts patron whose support allows a multitude of displaced artists renewed access to the former manufacturing plants where the creative tribe once thrived.
From 2011 through 2015, Noo Arts—first known as .NO, then as NOoSPHERE Arts—was operating a dedicated gallery space on 252 East Houston Street on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
