Long live the age of the apartment gallery!

Apartment galleries have a special place in our heart. Norte Maar’s apartment gallery at the corner of Wyckoff Avenue and Suydam Street in Bushwick, served not only as the foundation of our visual …

Jason Andrew is a curator who has set the bar for how to exhibit (professionally) in a domestic space.

I’ve worked on lots of curatorial and other projects with Jason Andrew, whose apartment gallery, Norte Maar, set the bar for the live-work-live art arena. I’ve reviewed many shows that were in domestic spaces that were also highly professional.  To put it another way: there is no sin for showing work by the sink.

“Still, finding the balance of content and scale that will make those encounters click is a tricky prospect, one that Jason Andrew, the co-founder of Norte Maar and the curator of the current Ways and Means: a new look at process and materials in art, has tackled with striking success twice before, with To Be a Lady: forty-five women in the arts in 2012 and last year’s between a place and candy, which explored pattern and repetition.

Ways and Means at Norte Maar is no exception, a thoughtfully organized exhibition that shoots for the wow factor time and again without skirting the more meditative aspects of process art.”

(via West Coast Represents at Exchange Rates Bushwick)

In hip-hop, the East Coast–West Coast rivalry has died down since the days of 2Pac and Notorious BIG, but perusing last weekend’s Exchange Rates expo in Bushwick you could easily have gotten the impression that it was now raging in the art world — and that West Coast artists and galleries are killing it. Los Angeles’s Durden and Ray, Tacoma’s Spaceworks, and Seattle’s Season mounted what were, to me, some of the expo’s most compelling and revelatory exhibitions.
