UPCOMING PERFORMANCE 10/22:

𝓃𝑜𝒸𝒽𝑒 𝓁𝒾𝒷𝓇𝑒
Doors 7:30 pm | Show 8:00 pm

an interactive and improvisational movement piece exploring darkness, visibility and participation. the fourth wall breaks, and the line between performer and audience begins to blur. a live score drifts through songs just out of reach of recognition, like the amorphous shapes objects become without light. through movement and sound, we explore what we allow ourselves to do when we think no one is watching.

created and performed by Sofia Gonzalez (Sofia Gonzalez & B.B. Sofia) and Antonia Luz Gillette (antonia__luz), with live sound by Angel Burner.

Correa Valencia traces the ways family ties persist across borders, distance, and separation, revealing belonging as something carried through care, labor, memory, photographs, and the emotional terrain of migration. Drawing from her experience growing up in a mixed-status immigrant family, she transforms textiles and repurposed materials into images that are at once intimate and communal.

The textile “painting”is based on family photographs taken during a period when migration separated children from parents pursuing opportunity in El Norte. Before fully understanding the forces that had reshaped their lives, the artist and her siblings posed with broad smiles, creating images of happiness even as the pain of separation remained ever present.

𝘿𝙤𝙪𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝘽𝙞𝙣𝙙 explores belonging as both a political condition and a lived experience. While many of the participating artists engage questions of migration, citizenship, public memory, and national identity, the exhibition ultimately asks a broader question: 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘴 𝘶𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨?

Stephanie Syjuco ()’s 𝘽𝙡𝙤𝙘𝙠 𝙊𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙪𝙣 is featured in 𝘿𝙤𝙪𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝘽𝙞𝙣𝙙: 𝘽𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙄𝙩𝙨 𝘿𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨, curated by Catharine Clark, on view through August 7, 2026.

𝘽𝙡𝙤𝙘𝙠 𝙊𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙪𝙣 emerged from Syjuco’s research into photographic archives documenting the faux Filipino village constructed for the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis, where, following the United States’ colonization of the Philippines, more than 1,200 Filipinos were displayed for American audiences within a living ethnographic spectacle or “human zoo.”

Across the images, Syjuco physically intervenes in the photographic archive by obscuring them with her own hands, partially blocking the viewer’s access to the faces and bodies on display—an act of protection that acknowledges the necessity of confronting this history. By interrupting the viewer’s ability to fully consume the archival image, Syjuco “talks back” to institutional collections that have typically framed racialized subjects through colonial and ethnographic systems of looking.

Syjuco’s work has been the subject of major museum exhibitions across the United States and is held in the collections of MoMA, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim Museum, SFMOMA, and numerous other institutions.

Congratulations to our acclaimed artist Alina Grasmann () on her acceptance into Silver Art Projects' 2026–2027 Residency Program!

Silver Art Projects () is dedicated to supporting promising artists through a year-long residency program. Located at the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan, the program cultivates artistic exchange and meaningful connections within the contemporary art community.

Alina Grasmann is a realist painter whose large-scale, site-specific series blur fact and fiction. Inspired by her travels, architecture, film, and literature, each body of work comprises 10–20 paintings rooted in a specific location. Grasmann researches these places before visiting them, documenting her experiences and the atmosphere through photographs that inform her paintings.

Grasmann lives and works in Munich, Germany. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich and the University of Applied Arts Vienna. Her work has been exhibited at numerous museums and institutions throughout Germany, including Pinakothek der Moderne München, Kunstverein München, Brühler Kunstverein, and Galerie der Künstler.

We are thrilled to support Alina throughout this exciting residency. To learn more about her work and past exhibitions at Fridman Gallery, please visit our website.

𝑫𝒐𝒖𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝑩𝒊𝒏𝒅: 𝑩𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑰𝒕𝒔 𝑫𝒊𝒔𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒔, curated by Catharine Clark (), opened this Tuesday. 🌻❤️‍🔥📝🫂

We are deeply grateful to everyone who joined us to celebrate this thought-provoking exhibition, as well as to all of the incredible artists whose work is on view. An extra thank you to Catharine Clark and her incredible gallery team, who crafted this exhibition with intention, care, and a spirit of collaboration that strengthens our artistic community.

During the opening reception, Wura-Natasha Ogunji created a live drawing performance titled 𝑫𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑻𝒘𝒐. Using both hands simultaneously, Ogunji posed the question: “For how long can we write the same sentence twice?” The work remains on view as part of the exhibition through August 7, 2026.

𝑫𝒐𝒖𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝑩𝒊𝒏𝒅: 𝑩𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑰𝒕𝒔 𝑫𝒊𝒔𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒔 examines how artists negotiate the conditions under which belonging is granted, withheld, or made precarious. The title consciously echoes Sigmund Freud’s 𝘊𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘻𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘐𝘵𝘴 𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴, which proposed that dissatisfaction is the inevitable cost of social order.

Please note: Fridman Gallery will close at 4 PM today, Friday, July 3, and remain closed through the Fourth of July weekend.

Regular hours (Thurs–Sun, 11 AM–6 PM) will resume on Thursday, July 9.

Extended through June 30, 2026

This week, Aura Satz's work is featured across Europe and Aotearoa New Zealand through a screening, a public program, and her first solo exhibition in Italy.

𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙇𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 reimagines the siren as a tool for collective care and ecological awareness, while 𝙎𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 (𝙖𝙨 𝙖 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙗): 𝘼𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙤𝙖 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙩𝙚𝙧 expands these ideas through conversation, performance, and an online lecture by Satz.

In Rome, 𝙎𝙝𝙚 𝙍𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙗𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨 remains on view through June 30, bringing together works exploring feminist histories of electronic music, listening, and sound technologies.

Aura Satz (b. 1974, Barcelona) is a London-based artist based who works with film, sound, performance and sculpture. Her works explore a distributed, expanded and shared notion of voice, and are made in conversation, using dialogue as both method and subject matter. Satz has made several film portraits of listening and compositional practices as well as works centred on sound technology and unusual notation systems.
