NIC KAY

artist

Cotton Dreams is an ongoing transdiscplinary - printmaking, bookmaking, collage, sound, video, and performance - project. It was birthed out of being gifted a bouquet of cotton by a white stranger in Soho, NYC.

NIC Kay is from the Bronx, currently occupying several liminal spaces. They are a person who makes performances and creates and organizes performative spaces. They are obsessed with the act and process of moving the change of place, production of space, position, and the clarity and meaning gleaned from the shifting of perspective. NIC’s current transdisciplinary projects explore movement as a place of reclamation of the body, history, and spirituality. NIC has shown work spoken on panels and hosted workshops at numerous venues throughout the United States and internationally. In 2016, they developed a web series called the Bronx Cunt Tour around their debut solo performance, "lil BLK for Open TV," which premiered in April 2016. NIC Kay is currently a 2017 Movement Research Artist-in-Residence Van Lier Fellow in New York City.
