BUTTERY - on view NOW 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.
