Sometimes it’s hard to recognize a movement as it’s happening in real time. But here? It feels palpable.
We always leave with An-other perspective at this effortlessly edgy gallery, where the focus is on sexy and fun feminist, queer, and capricious art. (We walked in on a sound bath mid-gong here once.)
This is the kind of place that makes you look left when you’re used to looking right. You’ll find installations that might not be out of place at Mardi Gras. Revisited looks at the female nude. Masculinity (when it’s occasionally touched on) is questioned, repositioned, manipulated, and maligned.
Follow the graffiti on the wall outside to enter the party. Don't miss the basement or the underground speakeasy, Sophie’s Lounge.
Swedish photographer, cinematographer, publisher, and woman-about-town Sophie Mörner is the mind behind this gallery. Before opening the gallery in 2015, she launched Capricious, a pioneering art publishing house and magazine dedicated to queer, feminist, and boundary-pushing photography. The Elizabeth Street gallery is Company’s second venue, which was converted from a dry goods warehouse by BoND (Noam Dvir & Daniel Rauchwerger) into a street-level gallery.
