Alter Space

Stormy Leather Wholesale used to be in this space, now it’s Alter Space, which contains studios, a main exhibition space, print shop, a permanent museum installation called the Bowery, and is also home to the Peephole Gallery.
I saw the opening reception — SOME OF ITS PARTS — which is a group Exhibition with Yee Jan Bao, Grady Gordon, and Aaron Hodges. There was some pretty cool art and the space is interesting and unique. The people seemed unpretentious.
One of the owners let several of us go down to the basement where the print shop and artist-​in-​residence studio space is. There were some handcuffs still there — remnants of Stormy Leather? And also a kind of fake jail cell, cell space, something like that.
I’m definitely going to keep it on my radar for future events.
