The FLAG Art Foundation — Attraction in New York

The ongoing exhibition called Dime-Store Alchemy from 6.5-8.17 2018, on the 9th floor. The exhibition features 24 contemporary artists who elevate everyday objects through the framing devices of cabinets, shelves and containers. The 10th floor is connected by a staircase in the middle of showroom of the 9th. They are presenting Genevieve Gaignard: Counterfeit Currency, the LA based artist’s first NY solo exhibition. The exhibition of new self-portraits and collages, all created in Florida, continues Gaignard’s interest in the performance of race, gender presentation, beauty standards, and class, through fictional personas and staged environments. The title, Counterfeit Currency, addresses the inherent complexities of self-presentation, noting that the way one appears to others is often incongruent with the way in which they see themselves, yielding a feeling of displacement and fraudulence. Through a variety of female archetypes, Gaignard explores her own existence as a mixed-race woman of color, revealing the malleability of identity as something both self-constructed and culturally affected. In addition to photographic works, the artist will also present a new series of collages that combine vintage wallpaper and magazine cutouts to render dreamlike and satirical narratives. It's really worth a visit. Don't miss out for...

I'm not very knowledgeable about art, but this gallery makes it feel accessible. The paintings are unusual and beautiful and all totally different from each other, and the jewel tones of the walls really make them pop. The pieces are placed in a way so that you view one as you enter one room, and then see something different as you exit the same room. The lighting was also on point.

Everything feels fresh. It's not too serious or pretentious. I enjoyed checking out their collection and would highly recommend a visit. Thanks for a...

One of the best art galleries I've been. The space is huge, quiet and the location is the super convenient. Most of the time you can see the artist there and most of them they will take you through their work. You can easily spend 2 hrs there. Don't hesitate and visit it now. There is always new...
