Vernita Nemec, who sometimes uses the name N'Cognita to honor under-known artists, has presented more than 70 exhibitions and performance artworks in the United States, Hungary, Japan, Ireland, Germany, Mexico, and France, including guerrilla performances at the Pompidou Museum in Paris and Documenta 13 in Kassel. Previously, her art focused on autobiographical & feminist issues, co-organizing the first all-female exhibition of our times – “X12” at Museum, a Project for Living Artists in 1969 and early on was represented by SOHO20, a feminist gallery in NYC. But in the 21st century, she has turned to environmental issues in her artmaking, focusing first on junk mail, creating The Endless Junkmail Scroll. Since 2015 she has turned from junkmail to making her art from plastic trash, creating a body of work entitled “Evil Plastic Blues”. She is a past recipient of the Franklin Furnace Jerome Foundation Grant and her visual art is in the collections of MOMA, the Savaria Museum in Hungary, Sylvia Sleigh Collection of Feminist Art at Rowan University, Asian American Art Center, Franklin Furnace, Fairfax Hospital in Virginia, Groupa Junij, Belgrade and many private collections.
