PLEASE RSVP: LINK in @ENTRANCE.NYC * BIO * on Instagram


(‘already mad’) MADDY of Nik Nak’s Farm / @niknaksflowers

@entrance.nyc: “PAT McCARTHY always creates an accompanying zine for his projects and this latest one documents the exhibition ‘VESSELS OF EXPERIENCE’, where sculpture, agriculture, vinification and daily chores become one unified practice at (his) Nic Nak’s Farm in the Catskill Mountains (NY). McCarthy sources materials directly from the landscape to craft poetic narratives through objects, speaking to the hyper-personal yet universal.”

“Pat McCarthy’s wines use low intervention, natural methods with hybrid and native American grapes grown in New York’s brutal cold climate. Each bottle is an edition – barely any sulfites are added (only at bottling) and they don’t need pesticides since hybrid grapes naturally resist disease.”
