Congratulations to Mary Mattingly on her feature in Hyperallergic’s review of the Medina Triennial. Mattingly’s work, Floating Garden, is included in the inaugural edition: a 30 by 80 foot barge where Mattingly has constructed a garden, serving as a space for refuge, community, and education. Sara Reisman writes: “[Floating Garden] is a nexus where many purposes and audiences converge, transforming the canal into a site of cultivation, shared food, education, and civic infrastructure — modeling sustainability through the frame of artistic practice, much like the Medina Triennial as a whole.”

Just released!
The Landing, Julie Blackmon

26 x 33.5 inches - edition of 10 36 x 46.9 inches - edition of 10 44 x 57.6 inches - edition of 10

On the threshold of adolescence, Blackmon’s figures await the uncertain— a boat, a passing paddle boarder, a parent— out of frame. The heat of summer is imbued through river-soaked concrete, mirrored waters, and half-dried hair. Blackmon continues on her recent theme of bathers in suspended adolescence: lazing through the seeming endlessness of childhood summers. On the landing, they exist in a state of anticipation, between arriving or departing, awaiting what lies ahead.

LAST CHANCE
Our summer show, How She Sees: Redux, closes this Friday, August 14. This week is the final chance to view Mary Mattingly’s photographs, Lotic Shoal (2023) and Symptoms (2026), in person in our new gallery space. Lotic Shoal was originally shown in her 2024 solo show, Night Gardens, at the gallery’s previous location on the ninth floor of the West Chelsea Arts Building.

In her series Night Gardens, Mattingly explores the garden as a world of its own: producing food, medicine, fragrances, textures, colors, and life. Hidden movements stir in the dark of a teeming universe of birds, insects, flowers, mulch, and a saturated undergrowth. Mattingly’s renderings capture a “miniature world, echoing Foucault’s idea of a symbolic and even sacred enclosure—a universe in-between, where time and space, nature and artifice, history and future all overlap” (Mattingly).

Summer Reflections:
On view in our summer show, How She Sees: Redux, is Holly Andres’ piece The Missing Bird. The photograph was originally exhibited in her 2008 solo show, Sparrow Lane, at the gallery’s previous location at 210 11th Ave in Chelsea.

The works in Sparrow Lane draw from an iconography somewhere between Hitchcock, Eye-Spy, and a Nancy Drew dustjacket. Like in gothic fiction, the landscapes and architecture are coded spaces, full of mystery and surprises. Her protagonists seem caught in states of hyper-self-consciousness: suspicious of watching eyes out of frame, their stiff gestures betraying their vulnerability. On the brink of discovery, at that awkward age between childhood and adulthood, these heroines appear as much posed as poised.

Andres’s playful staging and luscious colors temper any ominous undertones. The accumulated series suggests elliptical narratives, but with an elusive resolution; the pleasure of viewing instead draws upon the photograph’s allusive and metaphorical qualities — all revealed in Technicolor.

Sandra Cattaneo Adorno’s piece, Águas de Ouro I is on view in our summer show, How She Sees: Redux. The work is emblematic of the artist’s experimental approach. In the photograph on view, Cattaneo Adorno printed an inverted negative in golden ink onto black paper, entirely transforming the shimmering composition of the original edition (second and third slides). Cattaneo Adorno’s innovative technique points to the power of materiality, transforming the atmosphere of an image through her manipulation of printing processes.

In a continuation of her experimentation with the medium, Cattaneo Adorno is showing a series of silver-printed works alongside photomosaic and video installations as a part of her solo exhibition, Fragments of Light. The exhibition is on view at the Palazzo Bembo in Venice alongside the 61st Venice Biennale.

1. Águas de Ouro I (inverted), 2016, metallic golden ink on Sirio Black paper
2 & 3.Águas de Ouro I, 2016, archival pigment prints and dye sublimation print
4. Fragments of Light installation

Summer Reflections:
On view in our summer show, How She Sees: Redux, is Cig Harvey’s piece Birds of New England. The work was originally exhibited in her 2017 solo show, You An Orchestra You a Bomb, at the gallery’s location on 525 W 26th Street.

You An Orchestra You a Bomb looked at the artist’s relationship with life itself. In Harvey’s whimsical and otherworldly style, the series reflected on themes of family and the fragility of the present moment. Through breathless moments of beauty, her photographs propel us to fathom the sacred in the split seconds of daily life.

Just released: new work by Julie Blackmon!

The Spring
26 x 33.2 inches - edition of 10
36 x 46.5 inches - edition of 10
44 x 57.1 inches - edition of 10

In her piece, The Spring, Blackmon’s figures escape the heat in the cool waters of an ancient water source. In a scene oozing with summer atmosphere, modern bathers punctuate an age-old setting: the spring.

Inspired by the mysticism of the setting, Blackmon constructs a visual tableau that harnesses the speckled softness of summer afternoons, the lush chroma of forest overgrowth, and the sweet nostalgia of adolescent summertime.
