Events
dieFirma is a forum where students, makers, and the general public can convene for collective learning. Our objective is to bring audiences closer together. We invite established and emerging makers to lead and attend events, classes, workshops, and performances related to values that hold our attention as a community. By challenging ourselves with investigations into art and ideas, we build connections and foster new ways of seeing and creating.
dieFirma at Outsider Art Fair 2024
For its debut at the Outsider Art Fair, dieFirma is pleased to present the works of Kenneth DiPaola, Nadia Gould, Katherine Henning, and Bill Miller.
Nadia Gould at Art on Paper New York
For its debut at the Art on Paper Fair, dieFirma is pleased to present the drawings of Nadia Gould, an under recognized 20th century artist who worked primarily in New York City.
Included in dieFirma's Art on Paper presentation are three distinct series. Large scale charcoals with agitated lines that proclaim the heroics and the heaviness of the female form; black pen sketches on small white notebook paper revealing humorous character studies of men, women, animals and every-day objects -- a social commentary on people in her world; and Gould's many drawings made with bursting colonies of lines, abstract and biomorphic.
Through them all, Gould speaks to us clearly and succinctly in a Morse code of the artist's own imagination.
