NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK

"Some Bats", a solo show of paintings by Christopher Graham, guest-curated by Levi Gentry in Nine’s project space opens October 9th at Curmudgeon.

From Christopher Graham and Levi Gentry:

Bats can hardly see or be seen.

Bats’ nocturnal nature makes them mysterious to people. The whole nighttime thing additionally makes them gothic and spooky. Some of them eat fruit, bugs and blood. They have funny faces, like French Bulldogs with wings.

Culturally they are ubiquitous and tend to lay low. Vampires even turn into bats to evade capture. The Count from Sesame Street hangs amongst a whole crew of bats. Stellaluna proved that bats love hanging upside down with any and everyone. Meatloaf sang about leaving “like a bat out of hell”. And then, of course, there’s Batman, who disguises himself as a bat to protect Gotham from colorful supervillains.

Thomas Nagel’s What Is It Like to Be a Bat provided continued inspiration, as he posited that no one would ever truly know what it was like to be a bat. Most bats use echolocation to survive. As one imagines what it would be like to echolocate, they may picture a radial field of curved lines emanating from the bat’s head like a bullseye or the rings inside a log or the cross section of a gobstopper. Of course, bats do not imagine it this way. We may have some idea of bat life in our minds, but ultimately our entire understanding of being a bat can only be related to the human experience.

Viewing painting is often informed by our experience as human beings; paintings of bats are no different.

From Christopher (me):

On view at Curmudgeon/Nine's project space in New York City from October 9th- to October 27th, reception October 9th. It's my first time showing work in the city in maybe over 8 years. Come say hi!

Big thank you to Levi Gentry for organizing the show and for visiting my studio in Boyle Heights over the summer. So many good discussions, complete with a burrito run to Al and Bea's.

Thanks to Curmudgeon for having me.

Next up at Nine: Curmudgeon presents Tales from the Crypt, opening Friday, October 9, from 6 to 8 p.m.

Nine
112 Madison St
New York, NY 10002

Tales From the Crypt, a classic horror anthology that runs from October 9th through October 27th..The exhibition features seven artists: Richard Medina, Seung-Jun Lee, Andrew Hammell Race, Petros Lales, Aaron Nemec, Douglas Paisley, and Tamsen Williams. Each work on view evokes a specific milieu of terror, ranging from the gory to the psychological. The result is a rogue’s gallery of scenes and characters stripped from their setting: Monsters with no movie, ghosts with no story, houses haunted by nothing discernible, but haunted nonetheless.

Tales from the Crypt will open alongside Some Bats, a solo show of paintings by Christopher Graham, guest-curated by Levi Gentry in Nine’s project space.

Nine presents Bridge Two
September 25th - October 7th, 2026
Opening reception: September 25th, 6-8 pm

Nine presents its second annual partner exhibition, Bridge Two, featuring works by Yen Yen Chou, Sam Christian, Eamon King, Juyon Lee, Gabriella Gungon Lopez, Magicfeifei, Nate Millstein, Colleen Rae Smiley, and Tamsen Williams.

Located in Manhattan’s Chinatown–Two Bridges neighborhood, Nine relaunches itself as a curatorial partnership composed of Bob’s Gallery, Curmudgeon, Mall, and Site Service. Together, the four projects present distinct programming operating under a unified platform, envisioning new curatorial models for NYC art galleries.

Bridge Two connects each partner’s creative ethos into one collective installation encompassing painting, photography, performance, fashion, and sculpture. The nine artists on view each combine modular components or distinct materials to form a new whole. The works parallel Nine’s partnership gallery model. As the first collaborative exhibition following the formation of the new partnership among four projects, this presentation affirms the shared belief that artist-run and experimental spaces are essential to artists and curators in the NYC arts ecosystem.
