A room established for innovative pursuit.  

​

This is about a wall and what goes on it and near it.  The wall as a white entity has power, potential, and expectations.  This gets defined with lines, objects, and items placed around it. The wall appears as an empty page until a letter is positioned on it, as other letters are posted a story begins to unfold.  Each evening has a different line up, each theme is created by association. The artists invited usually lend a work that has not been shown before. This is not really a group show, more like a situation, an opportunity for dialogue, a Salon.  Most times the artists and performers do not know each other. The conversations happen for the people involved. This itself becomes a performance, a happening. The topics of curation and placement vary. The views can be conflicting around the wall. Wall Space insights to create a safe space even if disagreements arise.  Artists are allowed to provide views freely and respectfully. The Salon has an ability to make the artist a viewer and to leave a viewer wanting more. The wall acts like a trampoline for exchange of ideas; a platform from which the audience can jump. Each Salon is a celebration of work. Having these once a month allows momentum for those that want to keep the motion of ideas within their work.  It is currently an invitation to our Studio and Home. There is not much for refreshments served for that is not the purpose, though attendants are encouraged to bring their own. NYG stands for New York Gallery, an offshoot of the New York Ice Cream Gallery. The initials also happen to be our initials.
