Eight young North American galleries straddling art, craft, and design will take over a room at the townhouse-turned-gallery to present their idiosyncratic visions of curation and narrative. Spearheaded by Alex Tieghi-Walker, the British-born founder of TIWA Select, the exhibition will feature highlights including Appalachian quilts by the Gee’s Bend collective, William Moss and Matt Momchilov’s pseudo-historical portraits of fictional queer dandies, and delicate glass vessels by Valentina Cameranesi-Sgroi. The guiding principle is a celebration of cultures existing side-by-side—and exposing British audiences to this visual history.
