I am incredibly excited to share these images from our current shows with you. On view through October 15 is a two-person exhibition with Ernesto Burgos and Chris Duncan as well as a group show organized by Nicole Klagsbrun featuring Anna Betbeze, Brandon Ndife, Martha Tuttle and Jessica Vaughn. Both shows highlight inventive use of materials and yield wonderful visual surprises between the works. The gallery is currently open on Fridays and Saturdays, from 11-6pm. I am always available for appointments as well and I can be reached at ryan@halseymckay.com
I hope to see some of you out East this fall.
All my best,
Ryan
