So far, I've focused on creating educational tools and engaging communities with resource-efficient decarbonization initiatives (thermal energy networks).  I’m currently working towards a Master in Urban Design at the UNC Charlotte David R. Ravin School of Architecture, where I’m exploring tactics to build environmental and community resilience in urban settings.In the arts, my projects and research have centered environmental narratives, interdisciplinary art practices, and curatorial activism. Through this work, I’ve witnessed how connecting artists with communities can catalyze the kinds of critical conversation and collective dreaming that can help us envision more equitable, joyful futures.I grew up in Vermont’s Mad River Valley and am currently based in Charlotte, NC. I’ve also spent time living and learning in New York City; Cambridge, MA; Florence, Italy; and Burlington, VT. https://ellienew.info/Index-Desktop Thu, 23 Jun 2022 15:40:01 +0000 Ellie New https://ellienew.info/Index-Desktop PROJECTSExhibition & Publication ︎ 2020-2021 WetLab Curatorial Fellowship ︎︎︎ Event Series ︎ 2021Press Your Ear to the Wind ︎︎︎ NYU Gallatin Colloquium ︎ 2020Art for Our Sake ︎︎︎ Curatorial Research ︎ OngoingEnvironmental Art Research ︎︎︎ https://ellienew.info/Contact Mon, 22 Aug 2022 16:39:06 +0000 Ellie New https://ellienew.info/Contact Write to me at: enew302@gmail.com Instagram: @enew302 Charlotte, NC https://ellienew.info/Curatorial-Research Fri, 05 Aug 2022 17:15:33 +0000 Ellie New https://ellienew.info/Curatorial-Research Ongoing (2020–present, put down and picked up many times again) Curatorial Research Gathering knowledge and ideas at the meeting-points of art, ecology, culture, and communication.

How do we connect to the many bodies that carry and create us? PHREATIC! was the inaugural teaching exhibition of WetLab, an emerging art-science collective and curatorial laboratory at New York University’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study. Working within the bones of a domestic interior, eight interdisciplinary artists explored symbiotic ecologies and eruptive encounters. Delving into the worlds that live within other worlds, the artists investigated multispecies interactions and earthliness at points of disruption. The exhibition was housed within the New York Virtual Volcano Observatory; like volcanic eruptions, the processes and cycles that the artists explored generate both destruction and renewal.Works by Brock Riggins and Taylor Burkhead explore contaminated and conflicted landscapes across ecological and cultural histories, while Annick Saralegui works with microbes and the visual languages of bacterial pigments and DNA to convey climate crises and fermented ecologies. Aleyna Weitzner, Rhea Barve, and Kris Waymire present works that illuminate the intimate homes within nests, shells, and other natural vessels. Jack Helfrich and Emma Waddell create sound art and interactive virtual landscapes to bring forward patterns of symbiosis.We invite you to sense, wonder, and enjoy the unfolding investigations that reside in this house. – Ayaka Fujii and Ellie New https://ellienew.info/WetLab-Information Sun, 10 Jul 2022 14:47:43 +0000 Ellie New https://ellienew.info/WetLab-Information Fellowship work scope Developed a year-long collaborative curatorial practice with co-curator Ayaka Fujii Collaborated to determine curatorial frameworks and processes focused on care, deep listening, slow looking, and embodied knowledge; Coordinated exhibition project management; Performed and shared research on art-science field, artists’ works, and curatorial theory.

In a diverse set of media–including color study, poetry, narrative film, sonic composition, digital illustration, and painting–they trace instances of environmental, cultural, and temporal rupture that reveal how our pasts and our futures both resonate in the ever-unfolding present. Across disciplines, their works use abstraction, texture, and sensory modes of communication to investigate the tensions between experiences of fragmentation and acts of mending in the midst of climate crises.
