Tribeca keeps cementing its status as the nexus of New York’s gallery scene. On Friday (15 May), more than 80 of the Lower Manhattan neighbourhood’s galleries will stay open late for Tribeca Gallery Night, from 6pm to 8pm. Three of the community’s newest entrants will join the fun. Tappeto Volante Gallery, which is also showing at Nada New York this week (until 17 May), will open a new space at 4 Cortlandt Alley, complementing its original location in Brooklyn. Now sharing a space with Oolong Gallery, Tappeto Volante Gallery’s first show in Manhattan will be dedicated to the work of the Milan-born, Brooklyn-based painter Angelo Vasta.
Also celebrating the opening of a new space in Tribeca is Gratin, which already operates a space on the Lower East Side. The gallery’s new space at 15 White Street will launch with a solo show for Mónica Mays, a Spanish artist whose sculptures explore the mythology of the American West.
Another Tribeca newcomer is Southern Guild, the South African gallery that recently relocated its US base from Los Angeles to New York. At 75 Leonard Street, two solo shows—dedicated to the South African conceptual artist Usha Seejarim and the South African painter Mmangaliso Nzuza—wrap up this week. The gallery also has a prominent group stand at Frieze New York.
