the #1 contemporary art network

While the Alcove is possibly the smallest gallery space in Chelsea, it is difficult to overlook. Occupying a tiny quiet hallway nuzzled between galleries and frame shops, the Alcove emerges as a unique and ambitious exhibition space. Upon only a few feet of wall space, the gallery founder Gwendolyn Skaggs, managed to hang two reasonably comprehensive shows by the artists Chris O’Connor and Jason Robert Bell. This space cleverly demonstrates that it is possible to organize an intriguing exhibition with only minimal wall space, some paint, and a few nails.
