SUNRISE
organized by BEVERLY’S and Archie Raphulu Projects
OPENING MAY 10TH on view through July 2025
DANIEL BARRAGÁN / RYAN OSKIN / NICOLE MOURIÑO / LAMAR ROBILLARD / CAMILLE ROUZAUD / SABRINA MENDOZA MALAVÉ
SUNRISE levitates on the horizon of steel and concrete. Birdsong mixes with jackhammers, traffic, and the cattle calls of the crossing guards who shepherd us to work, or home after a long night out. Tumbleweeds of trash and construction debris dot the landscape, as we gallop through Busy Town in search of a watering hole.
This is the Wild West of The City. The word “development” can be many things — real estate development, character development, the work of culture pioneers, or the manifest destiny towards the city – spurred by our devotion to building, destroying, dancing, collecting, and connecting.
Each of the works in this exhibition point to the hot topography of the land of the Urban Cowboy – the city as Grand Canyon, channelling us all into the steamy environment we find ourselves together in right now.
———————
DANIEL BARRAGÁN shows paintings highlighting a Hollywood-influenced cross-border symbolism, and Puebloan-style ceramics featuring rock bands including Queens, NY’s thrash metal band, ANTRHAX. CAMILLE ROUZAUD’S bike and metal pipe sculptures remind us of the literal METAL infrastructure that keeps us alive, and constrains us. RYAN OSKIN’S monumental sculpture, and urban geometric wall compositions remind us that while we claim biblical free will, we are surrounded and knocked around by real estate developers’ renderings turned reality. LAMAR ROBILLARD’S video utilizes familiar symbols to point toward the visibility and spirituality of Black material culture in America. NICOLE MOURIÑO’S large-format paintings and SABRINA MENDOZA MALAVÉ’S intimate wall sculptures both make work exalting the texture of the urban storefront - the facades, windows, and ground floor spaces (like the one you are currently in) that color our very personal worlds, and the worlds of our neighbors.

PEER REVIEW X BEVERLY’S
GENE BIRD / JOSEPH WILCOX / EMILY JANOWICK / SIDNEY MULLIS / CHELSEY PETTYJOHN / FERNANDO PINTADO / ANDY RALPH / PATRICK CARLIN MOHUNDRO / KATYA TISHKEVICH / ALYSSA FANNING / MIRA DAYAL / KATE RUSEK / MEGAN PAHMIER
Artists operate in a unique ecosystem where work and friendships are bizarrely intertwined. Our coworkers, our competitors, and our audience are also our friends.
BEVERLY’S and Peer Review seek ways to materialize these relationships — as both are social and intellectual experiments with unexpected, surreal, and often ridiculous results. The roving and wildly fruitful outcomes are akin to the high-production dynamism of a Vaudeville clown show.
SQUIRTING FLOWERS exhibits past Peer Review participants in the theme of an absurdist circus. Like a beautiful bag of tricks, the works are installed freely around the stage of BEVERLY’S — where artists, organizers, and viewers all play, discuss, and dance in tandem.

*PEER REVIEW is an exercise of love and attention by artists for artists. It pairs artists to meet, discuss, and write reviews of artists by other artists. The Volume 3 paperbound book has just been published - and will be released at a launch party as part of the programming of SQUIRTING FLOWERS.
BUTTERY - on view through 1/24/25 at BEVERLY’S
On view through January 28th, 2025 at BEVERLY’S 297 Grand Street NYC 10002
Featuring work by: Christine Stiver / Jesus Antonio / Kate Steciw / Hunter Stamps
We are excited to welcome you to the first long-form exhibition at BEVERLY’S new space at 297 Grand Street - after the pandemic and its human toll and economic realities. But we are here now. And in fact, we never left. We were just in process and always will be.
Years of building. Years of TRYING. Years of running around like a chicken with its head cut off. But there was direction. There is direction. RAZOR-SHARP direction. The dishes piled up in the sink. The focus became sharper, changed, blurred, melted, congealed and sharpened again. The piles turned into totems. The totems turned into walls – the walls that hold up this ceiling.
Kate Steciw, Christine Stiver, Jesus Antonio, and Hunter Stamps are artists who made the stunning and vastly varied works in this show – all of which, in their presentation, display for us their process — compounding process, simmering process, symbolic process, and of course their shared partner, material process. And from these processes, we have CELEBRATION.
The artist Pepón Osorio said what all complex makers intuitively know - “It’s always difficult to talk about practice, because I feel it lacks the proper terminology… It’s always more complicated and messy than it seems, and than it sounds.”
Slip and slide your way through this space, through these shapes and ideas. We present to you, BUTTERY.

We are so pleased to have been invited by TECHNE to build this group exhibition and installation titled THEATER.
THEATER is an homage to the bar and nightlife space as an inherent stage for action – an innate exhibition of characters, whose diverse presences are vital to the makeup of a connected and powerfully creative social ecosystem.
