The Tiny Brooklyn Project Space Resisting the Gallery Machine

Subtitled NYC, a small non-commercial project space in Brooklyn's Greenpoint, is hosting the exhibition 'On Other Terms' by artists Pap Souleye Fall and Char Jeré. The immersive, multi-sensory installation, filled with intricate assemblages, analog objects, and digital elements, creates an overwhelming environment that mimics the friction and complexity of urban life.

The exhibition matters because it models a nuanced artistic response to technology and surveillance, moving beyond simple rejection. The artists use strategies like recoding shared technological symbols (e.g., chroma key green) and an immigrant aesthetics of reuse to explore precarious, tentative ways of making do within oppressive systems, while grounding their practice in beauty and formal rigor.
