Upfor is temporarily hosting their exhibition programming online and on Artsy, featuring the following artists and exhibitions:

DANIELLE RONEY Frequencies of Opacity

March 5 – April 30, 2020

In Frequencies of Opacity, artist Danielle Roney presents three bodies of work developed through research and community engagement around contemporary migrant experiences. Migration patterns, immigration policy, and migrant and refugee experiences have been the focus of Roney’s work for the last two decades, the center of a practice rooted in nomadic research and the impact of technology on society. Her recent works are poetic visualizations expressing resilient affirmations of strength in difference.

RICHARD STUART PERKINS If Ancestors Anchor

April 1 – May 30, 2020

New York artist Stuart Perkins photographs himself in scenes of reductive tropes of black culture, using racially charged props and tableaux. Perkins images attempt to reason with racism, appropriation and assimilation, inviting viewers to examine their own assumptions.

APRIL BEY Welcome to Atlantica

April 15 – May 16, 2020

The series of vibrant, mixed-media works introduces us to Atlantica, April Bey’s home planet and also home to visionaries, Womanist Matriarchies, Earth analysis, black thought, and queer adventures in design.

STAFF DAILY PICKS

A growing and ongoing selection of artwork, one each day, chosen by gallery staff. Each of us has personal relationships with individual artworks, and the opportunity to develop these relationships–and help collectors to find works that likewise speak to them–may be the most satisfying part of commercial gallery work. We miss welcoming visitors in our gallery, and we hope this helps us stay connected. For insights on why each work was chosen and what they say to us in this moment, please visit our Instagram feed. The gallery is halving the commission so at least 75% of the retail price goes to the artist.
