"I want the space to feel like a domestic space, not a gallery. I want to feel similar to what the Stettheimers had it set up and to other salons from the past. I want the art to integrate into with my everyday objects, almost as they have always been here.” Today on Maake we talk with Allison Wade @allisonlwade about her apartment art salon, Crystal Flowers @crystal_flowers_nyc in the upper west side of Manhattan. Allison talks about the serendipity of finding herself in the original Stettheimer house, the home of sisters Florine, Edie, Carrie, Rosetta Stettheimer, hosting unique events like opera sung through the vents of the building, and inviting shamans to facilitate connections with the past of the historic building and its inhabitants, plus lots more.
