Neumeraki

Neumeraki, founded by Eileen Jeng Lynch, collaborates with artists, galleries, and organizations on curatorial, writing, consulting, and editing projects.

"Neumeraki" derives from the Latin word "neu," which means "new," and the Greek word "meraki" ("μεράκι"), which refers to the dedication, soul, and love one puts into something, especially for work and in the arts. "Meraki" captures the essence of Eileen's work ethic and drive — her passion for the arts.

Eileen has been working in the arts for over fifteen years. She is the Director of Curatorial Programs at The Bronx Museum, and her inaugural show is Abigail DeVille: Bronx Heavens. Eileen is also a freelance writer, editor, and consultant in New York City. Other independent curatorial projects have been at galleries and nonprofit organizations, including The Yard: City Hall Park; Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art, SUNY New Paltz; LMAKbooks+design; Sperone Westwater; Lesley Heller Workspace; Dorsky Gallery Curatorial Programs; Garis & Hahn; and Radiator Gallery, among others. She has contributed to Two Coats of Paint and On-Verge. Previously, Eileen was the Senior Curator of Visual Arts at Wave Hill, where she created exhibitions and programs that explored the intersection of nature, culture, and place, including commissioning artists for site-specific projects. She managed the Winter Workspace residency and emerging artists programs, comprising the Sunroom Project Space and New York Community Trust Van Lier Fellowships. Eileen also worked at RxArt, Sperone Westwater, and The Art Institute of Chicago in the Department of Contemporary Art, for which she authored essays in the Museum Studies publication, Film, Video, and New Media at The Art Institute of Chicago: with the Donna and Howard Stone Gift. Eileen earned her MA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and BA from Syracuse University.
