NY adventure highlights coming up…

First up is ‘Little Island’. This was one of my favourite spots. ‘Little Island’ is an artificial island/public park located at pier 55 along the Hudson River. The public spaces in NY are truly incredible! It’s amazing how many pockets of greenery there are throughout the city 🍃🏙️.

(We heard so many bird sounds and initially wondered if they were being transmitted from a hidden speakers 😂, but soon learned that NY offers diverse range of birdlife due to its green spaces/parks and as it sits on a migration route.)

Join us Thursday, 09.25, 6-8PM:⁠
⁠
Collage workshop with Nina Torr and Maaike Bakker⁠
⁠
Thank you for your contributions at the "Counterfactuals" opening last Friday! We look forward to finishing this interactive project with your help.⁠
⁠
Torr and Bakker are fascinated by the possibilities presented by collaboration, interactivity, and play. Using paper fragments from works-in-progress and personal archives, Torr and Bakker will assemble a large collage with the help of exhibition guests. Upon the artists' return to Johannesburg, the collage will be translated into an exclusive artist book commemorating the event. ⁠

Opening Friday, September 12, 2025, 6PM - 8PM: "Counterfactuals"⁠
⁠
We are pleased to welcome South African artists Nina Torr and Maaike Bakker to New York for a pop-up exhibition in our gallery space. Torr and Bakker have been collaborating with David Krut Workshop (DKW) in Johannesburg since 2016 and 2021, respectively, and will be in residence here in New York for the month of September, supported by the Ampersand Foundation. ⁠
⁠
Conjuring alternate possibilities and doors to parallel universes, "Counterfactuals" suggests a playful, imaginative approach to creative practice. Torr and Bakker each take a fluid approach, embracing new ideas that may arise from a misunderstanding, an unsolved riddle, an overheard conversation, or a happy accident. "Counterfactuals" is informed by creative research and ephemera collected from DKW, the artists’ own personal archives, and the archives of friends and collaborators. ⁠
⁠
These new works will debut in our New York gallery on September 12, with a special in-gallery presentation on September 25. Stay tuned for more information. by @maaike00
