About

HESSE FLATOW is a gallery founded by artist Karen Hesse Flatow in 2017 as a curatorial project called CRUSHcuratorial. In 2019, we moved to a 3000 square foot space in the West Chelsea Arts Building. Curatorial focus is on collaborative projects and emerging artists, creating events and experiences that engage the artistic community, viewers and makers. ­Flatow received her MBA and MFA from Columbia University and attended the ­Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. In 2019, Jesse Greenberg joined HESSE FLATOW as Director and Hannah Schutzengel as Gallery Manager.

We are interested in the future and how art practices are influenced by modern culture and technology, but informed by the past. Art and how we experience it will be very different in the future. We believe it will be less to do about objects and more about experiences. On the other hand, certain objects will be prized because they remind us of our past and we will long for them.

We want a diverse range of artists to be given a voice, to lead a sustainable art life and participate in the dialogue that make us human. We live in a world that is increasingly fractured and alienated. We need to be kind to one another and treat each other fairly. Artists and culture producers will be asked to be leaders in this kinder world.  Building community is an important part of this.
