Equity Gallery is pleased to present “Reading Trees,” an exhibition of work by Matthew López-Jensen in the Equity Gallery Project Space.

Please join us for the opening reception on Thursday, October 15 from 6–8 PM!

Matthew López-Jensen is a Bronx-based, interdisciplinary environmental artist whose projects combine social practice, walking, photography, teaching, planting, cleaning, mapping, and research.

“Reading Trees” celebrates his ongoing work with New York City street trees and his recent publication “New York City Street Tree Tarot.” The project gathers scenes of environmental resilience and stewardship into a 78-card deck for reflection, education, and divination. The exhibition will feature large-scale prints from the deck.

The practice of divination, enacted via crystal balls, tea leaf readings, and tarot cards, is informed by the core belief that change is fated and often inevitable. López-Jensen’s tarot deck reimagines the mythic tree of knowledge as a salubrious conduit for personal transformation while inspiring individual action and a larger cultural reckoning with climate change.

Join us for Tree Walks on Saturday, October 24 and Saturday, November 14!

The exhibition will be on view from October 15 through November 14. Gallery hours are Wednesday through Saturday, 12–6 PM.

Equity Gallery is pleased to present “Neuralink DIY,” a solo exhibition of work by Pablo Garcia-Lopez.

Please join us for the opening reception on Thursday, October 15 from 6–8 PM!

Pablo Garcia-Lopez is a Spanish artist and neuroscientist based in New York. His art is informed by histories of neuroscience, philosophy, ethics, and culture and expressed as coded metaphors signifying those areas of study.

Garcia-Lopez employs natural silk in the production of his sculptural work; noting that the material choice is in homage to the father of modern Neuroscience, Santiago Ramón y Cajal. Ramón y Cajal, an artist and pathologist, envisioned neurons as individual cells communicating across synapses, which he called “butterflies of the soul”. His discovery, depicted in exquisite drawings, transformed scientists’ understanding of the human nervous system and formed the bedrock upon which neuroscience is built.

Silk, a by-product of organic metamorphosis, with references to luxury, ornamentation and human hair, is cast by Garcia-Lopez into sculptural parts or knotted and twisted into double helixes and rope-like structures to present dense wall reliefs. Seemingly born of an alien intelligence, and overabundant to the point of collapse, these works signal saltation, hopeful monsters and apocryphal visions.

The exhibition will be on view from October 15 through November 14. Gallery hours are Wednesday through Saturday, 12–6 PM.

Final day to see “Synesthesia” at Equity Gallery! Featuring work by Yena Seo-Yeon Park, Will Maddoxx, and Julie Schenkelberg, the group exhibition closes today, Saturday, October 10. The gallery is open until 6 PM.

The exhibition stems from the practices of three contemporary artists who utilize the canvas and the gallery floor as sites of rigorous phenomenological inquiry. Operating at the intersection of gestural abstraction and monumental assemblage, the artists interrogate the dialectical friction between isolation and accumulation, stasis and collapse.

“Synesthesia” is co-curated by Equity Gallery Associate Director Joey Vadapalas and artist Christopher Stout.

Last day to see “Easy Feelings,” a body of new geometric colorfield paintings by Wade Schaming! Join us at Equity Gallery today, Saturday, October 10, from 12–6 PM before the exhibition closes.

Wade Schaming’s paintings embody a minimalist, process-oriented visual language defined by geometric restraint, stark tonality, and tactile, serial arrangements. Utilizing unprimed surfaces, rhythmic mark-making, and repeated graphic motifs, often derived from custom stamps, the compositions emphasize raw surface materiality while establishing a sense of spatial balance and structure.

Conceptually, these two-dimensional works extend Schaming’s broader sculptural ethos of assemblage and personal archiving, interrogating themes of memory, impermanence, and the transformation of the everyday into systematic formal arrangements.

“Easy Feelings” is co-curated by Equity Gallery Associate Director Joey Vadapalas and artist Christopher Stout.

Final week to see “Synesthesia” at Equity Gallery! Featuring work by Yena Seo-Yeon Park, Will Maddoxx, and Julie Schenkelberg, the group exhibition is on view at Equity Gallery through Saturday, October 10.

“Synesthesia” stems from the practices of three contemporary artists who utilize the canvas and the gallery floor as sites of rigorous phenomenological inquiry. Operating at the intersection of gestural abstraction and monumental assemblage, the artists interrogate the dialectical friction between isolation and accumulation, stasis and collapse.

Will Maddoxx’s work investigates the anxieties undergirding contemporary subjectivity, deconstructing themes of identity and self-image in a hyper-mediated landscape. Through aggressive compositional cropping and disruptive, painterly erasures, Maddoxx enacts a formal subversion—juxtaposing mimetic fidelity with sudden, gestural obliterations to mirror the fractured, alienated nature of modern technoculture.

“Synesthesia” is co-curated by Equity Gallery Associate Director Joey Vadapalas and artist Christopher Stout.

Gallery hours are Wednesday through Saturday, 12–6 PM.

Featured Work:

Will Maddoxx, “Bruised Hunger,” 2026, oil on canvas, 36” x 12”

"Synesthesia," a group exhibition featuring Yena Seo-Yeon Park, Will Maddoxx, and Julie Schenkelberg, is on view at Equity Gallery through October 10.

The exhibition stems from the practices of three contemporary artists who utilize the canvas and the gallery floor as sites of rigorous phenomenological inquiry. Operating at the intersection of gestural abstraction and monumental assemblage, the artists interrogate the dialectical friction between isolation and accumulation, stasis and collapse.

Julie Schenkelberg extends these two-dimensional formal tensions into the architectural envelope of the gallery. Sourcing material from the post-industrial debris of the Rust Belt, Schenkelberg constructs monumental site-specific installations and high-relief structures that fuse domestic remnants with industrial matter—plaster, resin, and oxidized iron. Her work operates as a physical taxonomy of decay and structural precarity, actively destabilizing the site's gravity and tectonic equilibrium.

"Synesthesia" is co-curated by Equity Gallery Associate Director Joey Vadapalas and artist Christopher Stout.

Gallery hours are Wednesday through Saturday, 12–6 PM.

Featured Work: Julie Schenkelberg, "Relic found," 2026, site-specific installation, pigmented concrete and plaster castings on vintage furniture base with floor textile, dimensions variable
