Kinetic Traces

The National Academy of Design is pleased to present Kinetic Traces, a group exhibition showcasing the work of the twenty-eight artists and architects elected as National Academicians in the Fall of 2024. Working across a wide range of media and formats—from painting and sculpture to video and architectural design—these Academicians demonstrate the fundamentally interdisciplinary ethos at the heart of the National Academy since its founding in 1825.

The newly inducted Academician class of artists and architects includes Ann Agee, Diana Al-Hadid, Sara Caples, Diana Cooper, Lise Anne Couture, Rochelle Feinstein, Chie Fueki, Gajin Fujita, Maren Hassinger, Hugh Hayden, Florian Idenburg, Everardo Jefferson, Mernet Larsen, Marilyn Lerner, Jing Liu, Anthony McCall, Beverly McIver, Amalia Mesa-Bains, Senga Nengudi, Sheila Pepe, Hani Rashid, Jesse Reiser, David Row, Amy Sherald, Ken Smith, Nader Tehrani, Masami Teraoka and Nanako Umemoto.

Kinetic Traces is curated by Natalia Viera Salgado, Associate Curator.
