CRUSH IS BACK!! Here’s a bit about CRUSH for my friends out there who weren’t around to experience the magic 🍎💕🍉🍬🎨 I started CRUSH in 2018 when I was in high school as an independent curatorial project rooted in community and creativity; organizing and curating art exhibitions, screenings, and producing self-published publications in downtown New York.

CRUSH began as one-night pop-up group shows featuring work by my peers, bridging the gap between emerging talents and more established artists. We published zines and calendars, collaborated often with @homiesnetwork and @hesterstreetfair , and operated out of my uncle’s space on Hester between Ludlow and Essex—the building I grew up in. The whole project felt deeply personal and distinctly New York. This was a time when LES was still filled with local family businesses, and native New Yorkers (many of us still in high school) ruled the streets. It was long before the pandemic shifted the neighborhood and transplants flooded Canal St. Back then, LES felt pure, electric, and full of imagination.

For many of us, it was the first time we felt truly seen and celebrated as young creative minds. It gave us a sense of agency and proved you can build anything you believe in—even with zero budget. CRUSH is a huge part of my life, and it remains one of the things I’m most proud of. When I left for college upstate, the project went to sleep for a while—a long while—but it’s finally awake and ready to bring people together once again. Mad love for everyone that contributed in bringing this passion project to life, I’m really excited for this next chapter! 💛💗💛

So please join us tomorrow, Friday, Nov. 21, at 334 Broome St for Notes On Dawn, a one-night group show and zine launch curated by Sasha Alcocer and Dove Bardin. It’s a true New York affair hosted by two native New Yorkers! You’re gonna want to be there. xx❤️xx

Happy New Year everyone! Can’t believe CRUSH will be turning FIVE in 2023 🤯❤️ Thank you for sticking with me throughout these years, I’m so grateful that you all support my project that has evolved so much since it’s conception in Dec. ‘18 !!

CRUSH was founded with an emphasis on organizing public events for like-minded people to get inspired, connect and build bridges between artists and art enthusiasts of all ages. My uncle Alejandro was generous enough to allow me to convert the private dining room of his restaurant @lestudiony into a gallery. This photograph was taken by @tenzincm sometime around February 2019, where as you can see, I’m in the process of painting the space. After school, with the help from friends, we’d paint the walls from the restaurant’s initial color palette into a gallery white and back to the original color; take out the interior furniture and once the exhibition was over, that were typically open for one or two days, we’d put the furniture back in the space. It was laborious and wonderful, as is any true DIY endeavor. This location was our winter sanctuary for the first several events until we began collaborating with @22ludlow , staying in the Ludlow x Hester ST vicinity 💕 After the pandemic, we held our first event in Brooklyn at Patrick’s beautiful studio space @patrickwoodling 🙏

CRUSH was, and still is, a labor of love. Life got crazy for a minute and so we slowed down the pace, but I’m super excited to pick it back up and continue to do more for the creative community, both local and global. ❤️

Much love!
Sasha

The original CRUSH location! 61 Hester St aka Brown Cafe aka L’estudio ❤️🍎

My uncle is the most down ass MF known to man and would offer us the space on the left, which was typically used for private dinners, to organize group shows and get the community together. CRUSH was born in the winter time with the necessity to get people out of the cold and into a warm space to exchange ideas, love and show support for one another.

After more than 20 years, 61 Hester St is now ready for another family to inhabit the space and hopefully give it the same love and care that we did.

LES forever ❤️ Love you! @lestudiony 💫#newbeginnings 💫 #itsafamilything #nameofthegame 👊
