HESSE FLATOW was founded by artist Karen Hesse Flatow in 2016 in her 700 square foot studio as Crush Curatorial. In 2019 the project was rebranded as HESSE FLATOW expanding into a 3000 square foot space in the West Chelsea Arts Building. The program focuses on emerging and mid career artists with diverse voices, presenting debut solo shows and focussed presentations of mid career artists. With the additional space a time-based media program has been added . HF seeks to engage viewers and makers with public programming and special events such as artist conversations, performances and food-related events, hoping to bring the program to a wider audience. HF also maintains an exhibition space and residency program in Amagansett, Long Island.
Since 2016 , HF has presented over 40 shows and have received reviews in Art in America, Art News, The New York Times, Art Forum, The New Yorker, and Hyperallergic among others.
In addition to nurturing artists, we have worked with diverse group of curatorial talents They have been instrumental in fostering important dialogue between our artists and those that have influenced their work. Our curators have led our conversation series, written text, and curated shows that are central to our program. Below is a list of our curatorial collaborators:
