Walk into Company, and you might catch an artist hosting a sound bath, mid-gong. Or find yourself in a room bathed in apocalyptic orange light, silicone sculptures suspended from the ceiling and installations that feel more Mardi Gras than white cube.
Art here pulls from subcultures, music, fashion, and autobiography. You'll see female nudes that challenge the male gaze. Feminist explorations of sexuality and desire that are fun, sharp, and visceral. When masculinity shows up, it gets interrogated and turned inside out.
The graffiti covering the silver-painted exterior sets the tone before you step in. Don't miss Sophie's Lounge, where the gallery’s boundary-pushing spirit extends underground.
Swedish photographer and publisher Sophie Mörner launched Capricious magazine in 2003 to champion queer, feminist, boundary-pushing photography and writing. In 2013, she expanded the enterprise into a gallery on Eldridge Street. She renamed it Company in 2015. In 2021, she moved the gallery to its current Elizabeth Street location, a former dry-goods warehouse converted into a 4,000-square-foot standalone gallery designed by BoND.
Routes and collections this place belongs to

GalleryLittle Italy
This elegiac, two-storey Elizabeth Street gallery is a place of worship for refined, sensual art.

Coffee ShopLittle Italy
One of the city's most exciting pour-over bars, bringing Seoul's obsessive high-design coffee culture to Little Italy. PARKS at KIM treats coffee like a gallery treats art.

Alternative SpaceLittle Italy
One of downtown's most beloved alternative art spaces. Politics, performance, community, and experimentation collide here. Black walls and raw, deeply human shows that cling to your mind long after you leave.

GalleryLower East Side
Socially conscious art upstairs and an experimental sound studio downstairs converge at this gallery with spiritually attuned leanings.
