These last few months, we have been creating a new space for our gallery on the fourth floor of the West Chelsea Arts Building. Here’s a look behind the scenes at the construction of our new site. We look forward to our next chapter in this specially built space!

Just Released: The New York Times has listed Mary Mattingly as a key artist among ten American movements envisioning utopia across the country’s history. Mattingly is highlighted for her work in climate activism, noting her floating barge, Swale, and her present incarnation of the project, Floating Garden, which is currently traveling down the Erie Canal towards New York City.

Happy Flag Day! Today, we reflect on the adoption of America’s flag: a symbol with a complex history – a mark of enduring meaning and contrasting significances, uses, and appropriations throughout its nearly 250 years in use.

We are currently in the midst of relocating to our new space within the West Chelsea Arts Building. We look forward to joining a vibrant community of other art galleries on the 4th floor and welcoming you to our new space soon!

With this new change on the horizon, we are reflecting on some of the gallery’s earliest exhibitions and the many artists we have had the pleasure of working with over the years. Stay tuned for more details regarding our move and this exciting new chapter for the gallery.

The gallery is currently open by appointment only.

We are pleased to announce Mary Mattingly’s inclusion in the 2026 Medina Triennial, which opens today, June 6. For the triennial, Mattingly developed Floating Garden (2026), a barge-based living artwork that will start on the Erie Canal during the festival, and eventually make its way down the canal to reach NYC. Built on a repurposed industrial barge, Floating Garden draws from a global tradition of floating gardens as tools of resilience and resistance. The piece takes root in these traditions that have allowed communities to maintain food sovereignty and survive ecological upheaval on their own terms. Visitors are invited to harvest edible and medicinal plants at stops along the way.

Mattingly’s interdisciplinary practice crosses between mediums, from photography to ecological interventions to sculptural works, each variance informs one another in her environmentally-minded approach.

We congratulate Sandra Cattaneo Adorno on the opening of her new exhibition, Fragments of Light, at the Palazzo Bembo in Venice alongside the 61st Venice Biennale. Fragments of Light showcases Cattaneo Adorno’s transformative approach to street photography, enveloping us in a mellifluous blend of sight, sound, and motion to explore the inherent fragility and unstable experience of perception. Adorno is debuting three dimensional work, bringing together large-scale video installation, thirteen monochromatic photographs, and a new photomosaic installation of 24 prints, influenced by her Brazilian background. Included photographs are printed using metallic silver ink on navy blue paper, evoking the silver-toned light of the moon, incorporating the viewer’s reflection into the works.

Permeated in reflections, metallic surfaces, and kaleidoscopic projections, the exhibition immerses the viewer in a meditative space where senses are set free from the limits of rational thought. Here, the static nature of the photographic image dissolves and becomes reimagined in fluid, dynamic relationship to the gaze that focuses on the relational aspects of the work. The show is presented by the European Cultural Centre Italy and admission is free.

We are pleased to present new work by Julie Blackmon.

Ruby Slippers
28 x 26 - edition of 10
39 x 36 - edition of 10
48 x 44 - edition of 10

Inspired by a pair of discarded ruby slippers, worn and passed down between three sisters, Ruby Slippers explores the emotional artifacts of childhood. With reference to The Wizard of Oz, Blackmon presents us with another emotionally complex image, exploring the shifting meaning of objects over time: from items imbued with magical escapism to relics of grounding and comfort.

“The ruby slippers aren’t so much about getting somewhere else anymore, but just about that quiet realization you already know the way back.” -Blackmon

The word “gold” conjures up a wide array of meanings. As a precious metal, the application of gold in the fine arts has been used for centuries to emphasize an object’s perceived value and importance. More recently, the overuse of gold, whether in interior design or in fashion, can swiftly tip the scale towards tasteless gaudiness. In some scenarios meaning only the best, the phrase “gold standard” can also ironically imply an everyday occurrence, as if being accustomed to the regular use of something reserved only for royalty.
