3. Three Exhibits on Three Floors of Gavin Brown’s Enterprise in Harlem

Gavin Brown’s enterprise gallery, located in a historic former brewery building in Harlem, features three floors of exhibition space. Currently on view on the ground floor is Frida Orupabo’s, Cables to Rage, a series of collages constructed from her prolific archive of found materials. Mirroring her multi-layered life as an artist and sociologist, her work explores questions surrounding race, family relations, gender, sexuality, violence and identity. Avery Singer‘s Days of the Weak (Computer Pain) can be found on the second floor, where high ceilings, painted steel beams, and brick work — all remnants of the now Landmarked Yuengling Brewing Company (c. 1905) — provide the perfect setting for Singer’s seven pieces, based on the days of the week. Jos De Gruyter and Harald Thys‘ Objects as Friends is exhibited on the fourth floor. In this stunning display of 311 high-resolution photographs of found objects, “each speck of dust is captured precisely…” and the colors are “rendered so accurately as to create a sense of cyber-reality…,” the gallery writes.

Each one of the three exhibits are noteworthy, as is the interior gallery space itself and how it has been preserved, augmented and reused for art and events. Gavin Brown’s enterprise is located at 439 West 127th Street in Harlem. The three exhibits will be on view until April 22nd, 2018.
