In her solo exhibition, Orly Cogan reveals the hidden energies embedded within works of art and the spaces they inhabit. By stitching magical worlds into images of art fairs, galleries, and museums, Cogan suggests that the act of viewing art can itself become a creative act. These pieces exist between memory and imagination, intertwinging the tangible and the dreamlike.

In honor of the 25th Anniversary of 9/11, we pay homage to the lives lost, including those we knew personally. We commemorate the countless acts of heroism that day and the resilience that many bravely displayed in its aftermath.

OPENING THURSDAY
Orly Cogan: Behind the Lens & Through the Needle

Join us this Thursday, September 10, from 6-8 pm, for the opening reception of Orly Cogan’s solo show, Behind the Lens & Through the Needle. Merging the divergent mediums of photography and fiber art, Cogan stitches together an imaginative dialogue in her utilization of materiality. It is within this space between photograph and thread, reality and invention, object and viewer, that the familiar is unsettled, allowing something unexpected to come into being.

UPCOMING EXHIBITION
Orly Cogan: Behind the Lens & Through the Needle

Behind the Lens & Through the Needle debuts a compelling new body of work by Orly Cogan, expanding her distinctive practice in feminist embroidery work with the integration of photography. Cogan’s work plays with the tension between image and thread: its converse sense of speed and slowness, handiwork and mechanics, reproduction and singularity. Cogan weaves a sense of physicality into these photographs, imbuing each image with a teeming, colorful world hidden within the spaces where art and spectatorship intersect.

The exhibition will be on view September 10 - October 24, 2026, at our gallery space at West 26th Street, Suite 4C, New York, NY.

Congratulations to Mary Mattingly on her feature in Hyperallergic’s review of the Medina Triennial. Mattingly’s work, Floating Garden, is included in the inaugural edition: a 30 by 80 foot barge where Mattingly has constructed a garden, serving as a space for refuge, community, and education. Sara Reisman writes: “[Floating Garden] is a nexus where many purposes and audiences converge, transforming the canal into a site of cultivation, shared food, education, and civic infrastructure — modeling sustainability through the frame of artistic practice, much like the Medina Triennial as a whole.”

The Landing, Julie Blackmon

26 x 33.5 inches - edition of 10 36 x 46.9 inches - edition of 10 44 x 57.6 inches - edition of 10

On the threshold of adolescence, Blackmon’s figures await the uncertain— a boat, a passing paddle boarder, a parent— out of frame. The heat of summer is imbued through river-soaked concrete, mirrored waters, and half-dried hair. Blackmon continues on her recent theme of bathers in suspended adolescence: lazing through the seeming endlessness of childhood summers. On the landing, they exist in a state of anticipation, between arriving or departing, awaiting what lies ahead.

LAST CHANCE
Our summer show, How She Sees: Redux, closes this Friday, August 14. This week is the final chance to view Mary Mattingly’s photographs, Lotic Shoal (2023) and Symptoms (2026), in person in our new gallery space. Lotic Shoal was originally shown in her 2024 solo show, Night Gardens, at the gallery’s previous location on the ninth floor of the West Chelsea Arts Building.

In her series Night Gardens, Mattingly explores the garden as a world of its own: producing food, medicine, fragrances, textures, colors, and life. Hidden movements stir in the dark of a teeming universe of birds, insects, flowers, mulch, and a saturated undergrowth. Mattingly’s renderings capture a “miniature world, echoing Foucault’s idea of a symbolic and even sacred enclosure—a universe in-between, where time and space, nature and artifice, history and future all overlap” (Mattingly).

Summer Reflections:
On view in our summer show, How She Sees: Redux, is Holly Andres’ piece The Missing Bird. The photograph was originally exhibited in her 2008 solo show, Sparrow Lane, at the gallery’s previous location at 210 11th Ave in Chelsea.

The works in Sparrow Lane draw from an iconography somewhere between Hitchcock, Eye-Spy, and a Nancy Drew dustjacket. Like in gothic fiction, the landscapes and architecture are coded spaces, full of mystery and surprises. Her protagonists seem caught in states of hyper-self-consciousness: suspicious of watching eyes out of frame, their stiff gestures betraying their vulnerability. On the brink of discovery, at that awkward age between childhood and adulthood, these heroines appear as much posed as poised.

Andres’s playful staging and luscious colors temper any ominous undertones. The accumulated series suggests elliptical narratives, but with an elusive resolution; the pleasure of viewing instead draws upon the photograph’s allusive and metaphorical qualities — all revealed in Technicolor.
