A Manhattan una galleria d’arte ‘italiana’ ha aperto un nuovo spazio espositivo condiviso. La storia
Tappeto Volante Gallery, founded in Brooklyn in September 2020 by curator Paola Gallio with Jared Deery, JJ Manford, and Elisa Soliven, has opened a new shared exhibition space in Tribeca, Manhattan. The inaugural show, featuring Milanese artist Angelo Vasta's solo exhibition "Luci Spente (Light Off)," opened on May 15 and runs through June 27. The new space is part of a collaborative building housing Shrine Gallery, Marge Gallery, and Oolong Gallery.
The move matters because it represents a strategic expansion for a gallery that prioritizes artistic practice over market-driven approaches, aiming to provide emerging and underrepresented artists with greater international visibility. Gallio emphasizes the gallery's mission to support artists first and cultivate a new generation of collectors, contrasting with many New York galleries focused on commercial sales. The shift from Brooklyn to Tribeca reflects a deliberate effort to reach more established collectors and international press, overcoming structural limitations faced in the Gowanus neighborhood.
