Nail Art, The Show

November 3, 2009 5:18 pm

When I first met Brooklyn-based photographer Molly Surno two years ago, we bonded over being ambiguously ethnic-looking Jewish girls with freckles and a mutual love for nail art, subsequently sharing secret nail salon locations all over Brooklyn, where the manicures are cheap and the nail design is exceptional. On November 5 at Capricious Space in Williamsburg, she’ll be showcasing a host of images and ephemera from the trips she’s taken across the borough, exploring the deep and sometimes spiritual relationship that women have with adornment on the smallest of canvases. In collaboration with seven other artists, Surno has curated NEFER/NFR, a display of photography, sound, sculpture, and installation that takes its name from the Egyptian word nfr, meaning both good and beautiful. The overarching theme is dedicated to unearthing how different beauty rituals help shape cultural identity—and yes, there will be a nail artist standing by on Thursday night to help you further “define” yourself while Luiza Sa from CSS mans the decks.
