The gallery opened in 2006 in New York’s Lower East Side with an act of identification. The films of Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet were to constitute the pivot around which the gallery’s program would revolve. A decision was made to periodically screen one or several of their films, on their own or in conjunction with the work of other artists, to manifest an allegiance to a certain ethic of the image, a spirit of rigorous apprehension and exchange.
We represent mostly New York-based artists such as Rey Akdogan, Liz Deschenes, Sam Lewitt, Dana Lok, Grant Mooney, Paul Pagk, R. H. Quaytman, Eileen Quinlan, Raha Raissnia, Jimmy Raskin, and Blake Rayne, as well as the estates of Milton Resnick and Waclaw Szpakowski. The gallery also works with West Coast and international artists such as Alex Carver, Rochelle Goldberg, Kate Mosher Hall, Gareth James, Flint Jamison, Scott Lyall, Beaux Mendes, Nour Mobarak, Jean-Luc Moulène, Florian Pumhösl, Pamela Rosenkranz, and the films of Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet.
The gallery stages one-person and curated group exhibitions, and organizes film screenings and lectures by leading philosophers and theorists such as Alain Badiou, Slavoj Zizek, François Laruelle, and Quentin Meillassoux. In 2011, the gallery established publishing imprint Sequence Press, and released François Laruelle’s “The Concept of Non-Photography,” Yuk Hui’s “Post-Europe,” Gilles Chatelet’s “To Live and Think Like Pigs,” and “Spine” by R. H. Quaytman, to name a few.
Participation in international art fairs, such as Art Basel in Basel, Hong Kong, Miami Beach, and Paris, as well as Frieze New York, are also part of the gallery’s regular schedule.
