We always leave with an other perspective at this effortlessly edgy gallery where the focus is on sexy and fun art that’s feminist, queer, and capricious. We once walked in on an artist hosting a sound bath mid-gong.
You’ll find installations that wouldn’t feel out of place at Mardi Gras. Masculinity (when it’s occasionally touched on) is questioned, repositioned, manipulated, and maligned. More likely, you’ll come face-to-face with a revisited look at the female nude.
Follow the graffiti on the wall outside to enter the party. Don't miss the basement or Sophie’s Lounge, the gallery’s underground speakeasy.
Swedish photographer, cinematographer, publisher, and woman-about-town Sophie Mörner is the mind behind Company Gallery. Before opening it 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.
