About this project
ABOUT THE PROJECT
We are asking for your support in order to fully realize our debut exhibition. We have been rigorously creating work over the past year, and are ready to share it with the world! We’ve found the perfect venue in the Angel Orensanz Foundation, housed in a majestic synagogue built in the 1840’s. The exhibition would feature collaborative pieces as well as our individual work in the form of photographic prints and collages. We wish to spread the word far and wide and also hope to self-publish a catalogue of our work. Our hope is to make our opening a great celebration with all the bells and whistles. Help us make this happen!
ABOUT THE VENUE: ANGEL ORENSANZ FOUNDATION
The Angel Orensanz Foundation for the Arts was established in 1992 as an artistic and cultural resource open to artists, writers, thinkers and leaders from all over the world. Over the years it has welcomed and been inspired by Philip Glass and Spike Lee; Arthur Miller, Alexander McQueen, Salman Rushdie, Maya Angelou and Alexander Borovsky; Elie Wiesel and Chuck Close. One of the oldest synagogues in New York City, it is a Lower East Side Landmark.

Born in Miami, Florida, Felix grew up both in the Dominican Republic and New York City. He studied Theater at NYU's Tisch school of the Arts, graduating in 2005.

Since 2006, Felix has begun investigating the drama and narratives in discarded objects. He sifts through the wreckage to form emotionally laden sculptures which have an odd, and even quirky presence. His work has been featured in the Deitch Art Parade, Real Art Ways, Chashama, Studio 717, Art Gotham, Ephemorptera Art Space and the Stephen Savage Gallery.
Dexter was born in Boston, Massachusetts; raised in the Dominican Republic and New York City. He studied at the University at Buffalo, where he graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BS in Architecture.
