Congratulations to Dindga McCannon on her inclusion in “Acts of Art in Greenwich Village” at Hunter College’s Lebsdorf Gallery! The exhibition was recently reviewed in 𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕹𝖊𝖜 𝖄𝖔𝖗𝖐 𝕿𝖎𝖒𝖊𝖘—swipe to read more.

Dindga McCannon grew up in Harlem and began her career studying under Harlem Renaissance artists such as Jacob Lawrence, Charles Alston, Richard Mayhew, and Al Loving at the Art Students League of New York and the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop. She went on to become a pillar of the influential African-American art collective Weusi, and later a co-founder (with Faith Ringgold) of Where We At, a groundbreaking collective affiliated with the Black Arts Movement. 

Combining painting, printmaking, sewing, and non-traditional materials - personal objects, photographs, and other ephemera - made McCannon an early influencer of found-object quilting. Her works focus on the stories of women - iconic public figures, unknown heroines, family, and friends who shape her vibrant universe.

Join us Sunday, Feb 9, for a special performance by Tobias Fandel + MAYSUN! Doors at 7:30 PM, show at 8. Part of New Ear’s 𝕊𝕡𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕒𝕝 𝕃𝕚𝕤𝕥𝕖𝕟𝕚𝕟𝕘 series, this program explores sound distribution and localization as key compositional elements. Tickets available through the link 🔗 in our bio or at the door 🚪 ❤️.

This performance uses the room as the main sound source, capturing and reprocessing it to create layers that fold and shift within the space itself. Percussion and additional processing further shape these sounds, resulting in an improvised, octophonics composition that blends contemplative and experimental soundscapes.

This performance is inspired by the homonymous surface-finishing technique for decorative metal objects. With heat being applied selectively, the alloy beneath the surface metal turns liquid and starts to deform the surface from within… 𝘍𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘦, 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘯𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘱𝘩𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘺 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯—𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘴𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦, 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘧𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥.

🌪️ OPENING THIS SATURDAY 🌪️

Please join us on February 8 at 4 PM for an artist talk with Johann Diedrick, Temar France and Alex Smith, held in conjunction with the opening reception of Johann Diedrick’s 4-channel audio-visual installation, [the hurricanes in your mouth]. RSVP in our bio.

Johann Diedrick and collaborators weave together Caribbean cosmology, the histories of pirate radio, and Jamaican sound system culture to assemble vibrational architectures and build shelter from the storm. The performance focuses on the wind, confronting it as a destructive climatological force, while also embracing it as a creative world-maker. Throughout the performance, wind is channeled through the body via the mouth to propel voice, conjure speech, and disperse poetics.

Fridman Gallery is honored to present Will Maxen’s debut solo exhibition with the gallery, “Watch as We Float.” Join us for the Opening Reception on Wednesday, March 12, from 6–8 PM, and an Artist Talk on Saturday, March 15, at 5 PM.

𝓦𝓪𝓽𝓬𝓱 𝓪𝓼 𝓦𝓮 𝓕𝓵𝓸𝓪𝓽 features a new series of 14 paintings examining ephemerality and durability of memory. Maxen draws from traditions of landscape painting and contemporary figuration to create abstract fields of rich color and translucent bodies, recontextualizing and renegotiating the relationship between figure and ground. Created in proximity to the Mississippi River, the paintings refrain a subtle motif of water as a metaphor for personal and historical vulnerability, human ego, and the complexities of selfhood.

Sahana Ramakrishnan’s “Night Dreams of First Light” is part of her latest series, “The Forest Breathes”. This body of work focuses on animals at distinct moments in their lives, drawing inspiration from Ta***ic art’s philosophy of exploring the self to reach the cosmos—or the cosmos to reach the self. In this “forest,” individual narratives unfold, blending South Asian depictions of flora and fauna with Western natural illustrations.

The works challenge traditional methods of classifying, understanding, and hierarchizing animals within systems of consciousness. ❤️🐍💭

Fridman Gallery is thrilled to present Johann Diedrick’s [the hurricanes in your mouth], opening with an artist talk (Johann Diedrick, Temar France, Alex Smith) on Saturday, February 8 at 4 PM! RSVP available through the link in our bio.

In [ the hurricanes in your mouth ], Johann Diedrick and collaborators weave together Caribbean cosmology, the histories of pirate radio, and Jamaican sound system culture to assemble vibrational architectures and build shelter from the storm. 

Originally presented as a live performance, this work has been reimagined for the gallery space as a 4-channel audio-video installation.

Enjoy installation photos of Sahana Ramakrishnan’s “The Forest Breathes”, currently on view at Art SG, Southeast Asia’s leading art fair. This is the first Art SG participation for both the gallery and the artist. 

Ramakrishnan’s new body of work is inspired by Ta***ic art’s approach—where one begins with the self to reach the cosmos or with the cosmos to reach the self—this “forest” becomes a realm of individual narratives. The pieces draw on South Asian representations of flora and fauna as well as Western natural illustrations, yet question the typical ways animals are classified, understood, and placed within hierarchies of consciousness. 🌀✨🌺

Fridman Gallery is proud to debut Sahana Ramakrishnan’s new body of work, “The Forest Breathes”, at Art SG 2025, Southeast Asia’s leading art fair! This marks the first participation in Art SG for both the gallery and the artist.

Sahana Ramakrishnan’s paintings center on animals at distinct moments of their lives: a snake shedding her skin, lions dreaming together, and fruit bats suspended in the space between day and night. Many of these creatures are, or once were, integral to the local ecosystems of South and Southeast Asia. Through the wordless language of painting, the work seeks to foster empathy and connection.

Join us on tonight, January 9, 2025 from 6-8pm, for the opening reception of Tigist Yoseph Ron’s U.S. debut solo exhibition, “YAYA”.

“YAYA” captures the complex emotional dissonance between the artist and her late father. Through layering and erasing, Ron reclaims her memory and childlike perspective, observing her father from a distance and tracing their estranged connection. The exhibition includes new paintings alongside Ron’s signature charcoal-and-eraser drawings.

While the exhibition focuses on her late father, Ron’s work adittionaly reflects the struggle of the Ethiopian-Jewish community to preserve its heritage. We recognize that presenting an exhibition about this history cannot occur without acknowledging the ongoing suffering of Palestinian families, who continue to face unspeakable loss of life, destruction and displacement. As a space that has championed underrepresented voices, Fridman Gallery is dedicated to fostering artistic expression void of censorship and we look forward to presenting works by Palestinian artists.
